I'm a Software Engineer at Illumio, a cybersecurity company in Sunnyvale, CA, where I live in the space between product and engineering and try to make hard things feel obvious.
I graduated from UCLA in June 2026 with a bachelor's in Computer Science and Linguistics, which is a fancy way of saying I'm fascinated by how systems and people make meaning.
Frontend is my home base, but I work across the full stack and follow problems wherever they lead. Lately that's pulled me down into the plumbing: infrastructure, architecture, and DevOps workflows like Terraform. Turns out the boring layers are where the magic actually happens.
I'm wired for the early stage, that messy first moment when an idea is still just a question worth chasing. No roadmap, no certainty, just a hunch and the itch to find out.
I'm also deep into cryptocurrencies and decentralized systems, and not for the hype. What hooks me is the idea that you can build infrastructure that answers to no one in particular. That's a genuinely wild thing to be alive for.
I garden, read, hike, chase down new things to learn, and spend real time with friends and family. It keeps me grounded, and it makes the hours I do spend building feel like a choice instead of a default.
