Profile
Originating from Northwest Arkansas, I carry a deep-seated passion for innovation and its capacity to reshape our world.
With a keen interest in full-stack development and AI, I plan on continuing my education in Georgia Tech's MSCS program.
I'm currently open for opportunties in SWE internships and other mentorships. I am also a part of Simpson College's nationally recognized Speech & Debate Team.
Beyond coding and academics, I love trying new foods and practicing my pit master skills (barbecuing). I like listening to K-Pop and watching the Bears and Timberwolves play.
