About Me

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Central Florida (graduating May 2026) specializing in AI-driven and full-stack systems that merge creativity with technology. I love breaking complex problems into clear, procedural steps since 6th grade (designing games for critical thinking class). Recently, I’ve been developing AI cyber-defense agents, interactive user interfaces, and browser automation tools, and I ultimately want to contribute to Nintendo’s mission of creating meaningful, joyful software.
