The Developer
I'm a senior Computer Science major at Colorado State University, graduating in Spring 2027. Back-to-back Dean's List semesters, including a 4.0 GPA in Fall 2025.
I build things two ways: fully from scratch when depth matters (like KanaCard and my Environmental Monitor), and with AI tools in the loop when speed matters. Either way, the architecture, testing, and release decisions are mine. Knowing which tool fits the job is half the engineering.
The Person
When I'm not staring at Xcode, I'm usually out logging miles running. I'm currently training for a 10k! Honestly, grinding through a long run hits exactly the same as trying to figure out a stubborn bug. I've found that you just have to keep pushing until it clicks.
Off the clock, I'm either learning Japanese, watching anime, reading manga (currently planning a trip for post-grad!), or I'm sitting at the piano singing some old-school crooner stuff. If I've got headphones on, it's usually jazz, j-pop or some 80's new wave hits.
