i'm a full-stack software engineer at illumio, a cybersecurity company in sunnyvale, ca. i sit in the intersection between product (documentation) and engineering. my main stack is typescript/react and golang, and right now i'm also learning more about IT infrastructure and tools like terraform.

i'm naturally entrepreneurial and love the early stage of an idea, when it's still just a question worth chasing. i'm also into crypto and decentralized systems, not for the speculation, but because i think building infrastructure that doesn't rely on a central authority is genuinely fascinating. we're still early.

i have 1 year of professional SWE experience and i'm an undergrad at UCLA majoring in computer science and linguistics, graduating june 2026. outside of tech, i garden, hike, play sports, read, and hang out with friends and family. keeps me grounded and makes the time i do spend building feel more intentional. if you have an idea or just want to think something through, reach out!
