― My background
I am a results-driven Software Engineer currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at California State University, Los Angeles. With over two years of experience in developing scalable, full-stack web applications and cloud-native solutions, I have honed my skills in Python, Java, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. My passion lies in optimizing system performance and delivering high-quality, production-ready software. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to continuous learning and innovation.
Ever since I wrote my first 'Hello World' program, I’ve been captivated by how technology transforms ideas into reality.
I enjoy coding, solving algorithms, and playing volleyball, a sport that taught me the value of teamwork and resilience.
