My Journey
After 7 years in mechanical engineering working across military defense systems, medical devices, and precision manufacturing, I discovered my passion for software development and made the transition to tech.
I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at California State University, Fullerton (graduating May 2026), with recent experience as a Software Engineer Intern at Qualcomm working on data engineering and ETL pipelines.
I specialize in data engineering, machine learning, and scientific computing—creating practical tools that solve real-world problems with measurable impact. My projects have been deployed fleet-wide across Coast Guard operations, reducing workflow times from weeks to minutes and delivering quantifiable efficiency improvements.
