About

I design and ship apps end‑to‑end, alone — from concept through App Store deployment.

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of the Pacific (3.8 GPA, class of 2027), focused on iOS, applied AI, and the kind of careful product work that separates a tolerable app from a delightful one. Every project on this site was designed, coded, debugged, and maintained entirely by me. I care about polish, performance, and the small details that earn user trust.

I'm currently exploring opportunities at the intersection of iOS, AI/ML, and embedded systems — domains where craft, constraint, and shipping discipline matter most.
