About

I like software that can prove it works.

I’m an Information Technology student at UCF interested in software engineering, testing, and applied machine learning. I enjoy projects where correctness can be measured — whether that means building a data pipeline, designing tests, or turning raw information into something useful.

Outside of software, I’m usually following basketball, enjoying competitive strategy games, or fixating on the newest engineering developments in performance cars. I’m especially drawn to projects that connect software with the areas I’m most passionate about.
