About me.
I am a computer science senior with experience in backend development, system design, and technical project leadership. My coursework and projects focus on AI, NLP, and software engineering applications.
My primary technical work involves backend development using Python frameworks such as Flask, FastAPI, and Django, along with MySQL and vector database systems. I am comfortable working with Docker and Docker Compose and enjoy integrating frontend interfaces with backend infrastructure.
I am particularly interested in technical project management, including requirements analysis, feature planning, system architecture, and product coordination. I enjoy guiding projects through development, iteration, and deployment while collaborating with teams and stakeholders.
Outside of engineering, I enjoy playing guitar, dancing, and hiking.
