Portfolio
This portfolio reflects on my academic journey at the University of Alabama, showcasing some of the work I am most proud of. It includes projects, papers, and leadership experiences that demonstrate my growth as a developer and collaborator.
About Me
I'm a first-generation college student pursuing computer science, driven by the opportunity to create something meaningful through technology. My path has been defined by learning how to navigate unfamiliar spaces, ask questions, and build confidence over time.
Those experiences have shaped how I approach my work today — with intention, resilience, and a focus on building solutions that are both thoughtful and impactful.
I aspire to become an engineer who builds technology that is both thoughtful and practical — systems that not only work at scale, but genuinely improve how people interact with tools and information.
I aim to grow into someone who leads with clarity, collaborates effectively across teams, and approaches problems with both technical depth and curiosity.
