About Me

Computer Science student and software engineer who loves building things, learning, and solving problems.

Background

I’m a Computer Science student at the University of South Carolina. Most recently, I was a software development intern at Booz Allen Hamilton, where I helped build a full-stack internal workflow platform with Java, Spring Boot, and React on AWS. I’m most interested in full-stack development, machine learning, and security.

On my own time, I build projects like Dot, a social media platform that uses an NLP classifier to filter out toxic content, and Cinder, an encrypted real-time chat app where private keys never leave your device. Before college, I captained my high school’s cybersecurity team to top finishes at CyberPatriot and the Palmetto Cyber Defense Competition.

When I’m not programming, you’ll find me outdoors, playing Super Smash Bros., Overwatch, or rhythm games, or listening to music (any genre). I’m always up for new opportunities or a good conversation, so feel free to reach out!
