👋 Hey! I'm a frontend-focused software engineer crafting web experiences for both humans and agents.

I care about the details that make interactions engaging and polished. I've built production product surfaces, optimized complex interactive visualizations, and shipped open-source ML tooling.

I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Rice University, and I'm looking to join an amazing team as a new-grad SWE.
