Crafting Digital Experiences

I'm a Software Engineer currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Syracuse University. With a strong foundation in mobile and web development, I specialize in creating performant, user-centric applications that solve real-world problems.

My journey spans from building enterprise Android applications at Cerence AI to leading frontend development for impactful platforms. I'm passionate about exploring emerging technologies like blockchain and AI to create innovative solutions.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me participating in hackathons, contributing to open-source, or exploring the latest in tech. I believe in continuous learning and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with code.
