About Me

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 7 years of experience building scalable, user-focused applications. At JPMorgan Chase, I contributed to the Wealth Management team, developing and testing features on chase.com. I also mentored aspiring developers at Per Scholas, guiding them through React, Node.js, and full-stack fundamentals. I take pride in writing clean, maintainable code, collaborating across teams, and continuously deepening my understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software architecture to build performant, impactful solutions.
