I build reliable APIs, automation pipelines, and AI agents that turn complex workflows into simple, scalable systems. A lot of what I build comes from real problems I’ve lived through or watched people around me struggle with, like finding opportunities, navigating school and career systems, and getting access to the right information at the right time. That’s why I’m especially drawn to backend work: I like building the “engine” that makes products dependable, secure, and scalable. I care about impact and usefulness more than hype. My goal is to ship tools that genuinely help others, whether that’s saving people time, reducing friction, or making systems more accessible for students and communities like mine.
