Hey there, I am

Software Engineering Student from Fort Lee, New Jersey
A little about me
I'm a software engineering graduate student at Stevens Institute of Technology, expected to graduate in 2026, currently gaining hands-on experience as a Software Engineering Intern at Juno Health. Originally from Queens, I moved to New Jersey in 2013 and have called it home ever since. My experience spans full-stack development with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and modern databases – I've built everything from AI-powered platforms to real-time multiplayer games. I'm also a Graduate Research Assistant, teaching data engineering concepts to fellow students, which has deepened my understanding of how to break down complex problems. Outside of tech, I love exploring the NYC area, discovering new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. I'm always curious about how things work and enjoy problem-solving – whether it's debugging code or figuring out the most efficient route through the city. When I'm not at my computer, you'll probably find me wandering around Fort Lee or planning my next food adventure in Manhattan. I love on tackling complex technical challenges and am always eager to, so please feel free to explore my portfolio and reach out if you want to chat!
Some of my work
Anime Axis
First biggest project I ever created. It was made during my time in college for a final in a database class. Currently in the process of transferring the database to MongoDB since I had originally made it in a school-based database that I no longer have access to, however you may view the source code on Github. Keeping all the work original, it is not mobile responsive.
Nutrition AI
Group project in my Agile Methods class. Working with a group of talented students to create an app that recognizes pictures of food and returns nutritional facts, along with added features like profiles, friends list, and more. Tech stack includes React + Vite, Node.js, Gemini API, and NeDB. Project will continue to be updated as the semester goes along.
Stroopy
A real-time 1v1 multiplayer game (and singleplayer) based on the Stroop Test, an experiment that challenges players to quickly and accurately respond to color-word matching tasks. The game tests players cognitive processing speed and ability to overcome cognitive interference.
Portion
Portion is a responsive web application designed to simplify the process of splitting bills among friends. Built with a modern tech stack including Vite + React, Supabase, Tailwind, and DaisyUI, this application streamlines the often complex task of fairly dividing shared costs.
