Profile Pic

Hello!
I am a software engineer who enjoys building practical tools and learning by doing. I have worked with Linux systems, Docker, and cloud-connected camera devices in a manufacturing setting. My projects include a CLI tool for development workflows and a mock jury trials website. I am focused on continuous growth in a full-time software engineering role.

B.S. Computer Science — The University of Texas at Dallas

My coursework includes data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and software engineering. I have built projects in Python, Java, C++, and multiple web frameworks. I am focused on strengthening my skills, solving real problems, and adding value to my team every day.

 

Experience

Projects

Below are two projects that demonstrate my skills in systems programming, CLI tooling, and full-stack web development.

Developer Environment Launcher

A Bash CLI tool that makes software development faster and easier. It can run builds, manage containers, and update Makefiles and Dockerfiles. It supports many project types, including compiled languages, scripting languages, data tools, and web frameworks.

Tech Stack: Bash, Make, Docker, Git

Mock Jury Trials Website

A website that helps defense attorneys prepare for jury trials. It lets users create and livestream mock trials, build trial scenarios, recruit mock jurors, collect payments, and review detailed trial results to better predict and understand jury decision-making.

Tech Stack: Angular, Node.js, MongoDB, Azure
