About Me

I’m a software developer passionate about creating solutions that are both innovative and secure. I learn best by diving in hands-on, supported by research and tutorials.

My Motto: I can do anything because I can learn anything


I thrive in teams that balance independence with clear communication and collaboration. Outside of tech, I enjoy crocheting/knitting, baking, and playing video games.

Known for my reliability and initiative, I’ve contributed meaningfully in startup environments, like representing TriSphere Apps at an online career fair to support busy leadership. Driven by curiosity and growth, I’m eager to continuously learn and improve.

When working with me, expect clear communication, proactive effort, and a growth mindset.

Works in Progress

Here's The Tea

A React website for a fictional tea shop. Includes a home page, as well as pages to view the menu, shop merchandise, and view information about the shop. From the menu and shop pages, one will be able to place an imaginary online order. This project is helping me learn to use React.js, Vite, and Stripe via online sources such as YouTube.

Progress

Currently working on adding functionality to the Shop page and making it look nicer. The logic is there for adding items to a cart. I'm thinking of using something like Stripe to simulate an online checkout experience.
