About

I'm a Software Engineer with a B.S. in Software Engineering from Iowa State University, graduating with a 3.54 GPA and a minor in Cybersecurity in May 2025.

My work spans the full stack — from architecting serverless AWS pipelines with Terraform and building Flask validation frameworks, to developing responsive React UIs with Redux Toolkit and maintaining 95%+ test coverage across production codebases.

I'm a strong believer in AI-augmented development. I actively use tools like GitHub Copilot to accelerate coding, testing, debugging, and documentation — treating AI as a force multiplier for engineering quality, not a shortcut.
