about

I'm a CS student and backend developer who started becoming interested in software development during my first year of college. Since then, I've been exploring how software is built, from APIs and full-stack web applications to the design and architecture behind larger systems.

I work mostly with Java and Spring, along with JavaScript and TypeScript — with some Solidity on the side for on-chain projects. I'm particularly interested in software design, architecture, and backend systems, and how good technical decisions can make applications easier to maintain and scale.

I've also started incorporating AI-assisted development into my workflow to make my work more efficient, while still focusing on understanding the code and the systems I build.

things i've done
built REST APIs in Java & Node.js
