Who I am

Designer & developer based out of Central New York

I am a part-time Computer Science student at Cornell University, transitioning from a background in volunteer management to software development. I have experience in web application development, specializing in full-stack solutions and interactive tools.

My portfolio includes Corkboard, a real-time collaborative whiteboard, and The Mystery Theories Store, a full-stack e-commerce platform with real-time inventory management. I enjoy blending creativity with technical expertise to build innovative, scalable applications.

Outside of programming, I love hiking Ithaca’s scenic trails, playing guitar, hitting the gym, and gaming.
