About Me

I’m a Computer Science student at Colby College focused on building software that is reliable, useful, and easy to work with. My strongest interests are full-stack development, backend systems, and AI-integrated product features.

I’ve built projects across marketplaces, AI visualization, algorithm visualizers, simulations, and data-driven tools. I enjoy turning complex ideas into clean interfaces, maintainable code, and systems that solve practical problems.

I’m currently strengthening my experience in backend engineering, scalable web applications, and product-focused software development.
