I build useful things, chase odd technical questions, and occasionally lose to a knight fork.

About

A little context,
in my own words.

I'm a Computer Science junior at UT Dallas. I like building the parts of a product people don't always see: backend systems, language tools, and the details that keep an idea from falling apart after the demo.

When I run into something I don't know how to use yet, I usually tinker with it until I do. That has been a pretty reliable way to learn.

Experience

In the order
I got to do it.

Projects

A few things I made
with other people.

DocuLabubu project interface

HackRice 2025

DocuLabubu

A telehealth sidekick built to help older adults get more out of a video visit.

We worked on finding the moments worth coming back to, like medication details and symptoms that came up during the call.

Angel's Protection project interface

HackTX 2024

Angel's Protection

My first hackathon project, which somehow won three tracks.

I got to build the frontend and help turn a computer-vision idea into something people could actually use in the room.

TalentTrade project interface

ACM Projects

TalentTrade

A place for college students to trade the skills they have for the skills they want.

This was one of my first deep dives into backend work, recommendation logic, and the thrill of a third-place finish.
