About Me
I am an aspiring software craftsman who takes pride in eloquent problem solving. I enjoy building software and appreciate how much I still have to learn. In addition to my engineering experience, I bring with me years of community building and leadership where I have aimed to make a positive impact on the lives of those who are marginalized. I am generally successful in my undertakings and I believe that is due to a strong work ethic. For my work, I have been recognized as a Generation Google Scholar, Larry H. and Gail Miller Scholar, and I was invited to become a fellow of the NAPALI leadership institute.
