About Me

Software Engineer & Project Manager with a passion for innovation

My Journey

A passionate software engineer and business operations leader with a unique blend of technical expertise and entrepreneurial mindset. I believe in creating solutions that not only solve problems but also drive business growth and user satisfaction.

Currently pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Management Information Systems at University of Maryland while gaining hands-on experience in software development, project management, and business operations across multiple organizations.

My approach combines analytical thinking with creative problem-solving, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical implementation and business objectives.
