about

I am a passionate computer science student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, graduating in May 2026. I fell in love with programming and computer science at the age of 15. With a strong foundation in programming languages like C++, Python, and JavaScript, I've developed expertise in building web applications, solving technical challenges, and working with tools like React, Proxmox, and MATLAB.

I see programming the same way I approach my love for making music—as a creative process of connecting puzzle pieces to craft something impactful for others to use and enjoy. My technical projects, from automating virtual machine processes to developing online music players and galleries for me and my friends, reflect this philosophy.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new music or working on personal development projects. I aim to merge creativity and technical skills to make meaningful contributions to the tech industry.

projects

  • Catharsis
    Catharsis

    I created a React-based web app designed for me and my friends to share music and photos. The app hosts hundreds of photos and music libraries, providing an easy platform for us to exchange content. I established an optimized PostgreSQL database system to efficiently store and asynchronously retrieve user information, supporting thousands of users. To enhance security, I integrated a 2-Factor authentication system using SMTP servers. Additionally, I streamlined the music player state management by reducing 10 different states to a single global state using React Redux, making the app smoother and more efficient. This project combined my passion for music and technology, creating a fun and practical way to share with others.
