Building things that matter

I'm a recent Computer Science graduate from Western Michigan University with a passion for building innovative software solutions. My education gave me strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, and software engineering principles.

With 4+ years of Python experience and fluency across many languages and frameworks, I love tackling complex problems and turning ideas into functional, elegant code.

I'm actively seeking a full-time software engineering role where I can contribute to meaningful projects, collaborate with driven teams, and keep growing as a developer.
