👤 About Me
I’m a recent Computer Science grad from CSUF who loves building software, but I've always had fascination with airplanes, rockets, and the aerospace industry. My path into software engineering is a bit unique, before jumping full-time into code, my background involved a mix of different jobs, including working for nearly three years in a non-destructive testing facility handling actual aerospace components.
Today, I love bringing those two worlds together, whether I'm hacking away on full-stack web platforms, working with robotic manipulation systems, or building clean data pipelines, I focus on writing reliable code that seamlessly bridges software with real-world applications.
🤝 Collaboration & Milestones
I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments. I recently engineered solutions for a 5-month industry-sponsored autonomous inspection system, culminating in a successful presentation at the CSUF Engineering & Computer Science Innovation Expo. I specialize in taking a high-level hardware challenge, collaborating with a core team, and delivering functional software pipelines.
🏋️ Outside the Code
Outside of computer science, my interests are quite diverse:
- Hanging out with my wonderful girlfriend and friends
- Traveling
- Trying unique restaurants and ranking them
- Playing basketball and soccer
- Going on hikes
- Working out at the gym
