Originating from Northwest Arkansas, I carry a deep-seated passion for innovation and its capacity to reshape our world. As a recent graduate with a B.A. in Computer Science from Simpson College, I'm excited to continue my journey in full-stack development and AI. I'm currently working as a Software Developer at Merchant's Bonding Company while preparing for Georgia Tech's MSCS program to further advance my technical expertise.

During my time at Simpson College, I was proud to be part of the nationally recognized Speech & Debate Team, where I developed strong communication and analytical skills that complement my technical abilities. Now as I transition into my professional career, I'm eager to tackle challenging projects and contribute to innovative solutions in the tech industry.

Beyond coding and work, I love trying new foods and practicing my pit master skills (barbecuing). I enjoy listening to K-Pop and cheering on the Bears and Timberwolves during game season.
