Hi there! I'm a recent graduate from the University of Houston, with dual degrees in Computer Science & Mathematics, and a minor in Business Administration. I'm currently a Software Engineer at JPMorganChase.
Prior to joining JPMorganChase in 2023 — my professional trajectory has been marked by a deliberate pivot towards refining developer experiences and advancing enterprise tooling. With a background comprising internships at IBM, NASA, and PROS, spanning from backend engineering to software development and product innovation, I've acquired a diverse skill set. I am deeply engaged in exploring the intersections of software engineering, cloud computing, data science, machine learning, mathematics, alongside my keen interest in entrepreneurship and finance.
