About Me

I'm a software engineer based in Los Angeles, CA with a passion for building efficient, reliable systems. My experience spans low-level systems programming, networked applications, full-stack web development, and machine learning tooling.

I enjoy working at the intersection of performance and developer experience — whether that's designing clean C++ APIs, building React-based interfaces, or creating tools that simplify complex workflows.

When I'm not coding, I contribute to open source and explore emerging technologies at the edge of software and infrastructure.
