A Lifelong Journey of Learning
Aspiring Software Engineer
What began as a simple curiosity for making a video game during the COVID-19 pandemic ignited my passion for all things software — and a lifelong drive to keep learning and building.
Where it all began · Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi
What I build with
My Tech Stack
Distributed & Backend Systems
Fault-tolerant services and backend infrastructure — distributed systems and energy-platform work at Tesla, cloud backend controllers at Spectrum, and real-time APIs that hold up under load.
Robotics & Low-Level Systems
Project lead for WashU Robotics, paired with a deep dive into the machine itself — ROS control, x86 assembly, and the concurrency and memory model underneath.
Full-Stack Product
End-to-end products people actually use — typed React front ends over well-designed APIs, databases, and auth, shipped from prototype to production.
Applied AI
Language models wired into real products — AI agents at Tesla, medical-document analysis inside an XR assistant, and LLM-backed features end to end.
