About

I build software that real businesses run on.

Founding Software Engineer at Lee's Noodle, where I solo-built the entire operations stack — a web order management system, an offline-first mobile delivery app used by 15 drivers daily, and an automated QuickBooks sync that saves 90 minutes of manual work every day. The system processes 10,000+ transactions every month with 99.999% uptime.

I built all of this while finishing my CS degree at UC Riverside. I've also done ML research through an NSF fellowship — where I caught a data leakage bug that dropped a model's real accuracy from 95% to 60% — led a team building a parking prediction app with live ML forecasts, and I'm taking graduate-level ML and deep learning courses in my final term.

I learn fast, build faster, and ship things people actually use.
