Who I Am

I'm a Computer Science student at Northern Kentucky University with a minor in Entrepreneurship — blending technical depth with a builder's mindset.

I love building things end-to-end: from programming microcontrollers and designing REST APIs to crafting responsive frontends people actually enjoy using.

When I'm not coding, I'm thinking about how technology can solve real problems — whether that's helping students find parking or giving a nonprofit a website that actually works.
