🚀 About Me

I’m a software engineer with a systems and data mindset, passionate about building performant, distributed, and analytics-driven applications.
My experience ranges from .NET-based enterprise systems at UPS to Golang microservices and CUDA-accelerated C++ research projects — all tied together by a deep curiosity for how code and data behave at scale.

At Ramapo College, I’ve combined academic excellence (GPA 3.99/4) with community leadership as President of the Computer Science Club and Vice President of the Google Developer Student Club, mentoring peers in algorithms, data structures, and mathematics.
