About Me

Building Things
That Actually Work

I'm a CS student at UT Arlington focused on building real, practical software. From full-stack web apps to Android applications, I enjoy working across the entire stack.

My CompTIA Security+ certification means I approach every project with security baked in — not bolted on. I'm currently seeking internship and entry-level opportunities for 2026.
