I like turning messy requirements and data into systems people can rely on.

I’m interested in software engineering, backend systems, and data workflows. My Python and Java coursework has given me practice with object-oriented design, file output, input validation, and game-state algorithms. During my SongTools internship, I documented domain dependencies and turned twice-weekly progress updates into a structured tracker and executive report.
