Hi, nice to "meet" you! I'm a dynamic problem-solver based in the sunny San Diego. My professional journey has always been driven by finding immediate needs within communities and developing solutions that make a direct impact. I originally pursued a career in teaching math because I believe that education is one of the most powerful tools for empowerment and social change and there is a critical need for quality math education. Teaching math allowed me to build critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students, equipping them with tools they could use to navigate the world around them. I transitioned to software engineering after realizing the potential to scale my impact beyond the classroom. My experience with educational software highlighted the transformative power of technology, inspiring me to contribute to innovative solutions that address broader societal needs. As a developer, I've built three projects from inception to production which reflects my passion for innovation and taking abstract visions and generating tangible outcomes. My journey signifies not just a career shift but a continuation of my identity as a solution-oriented professional, critical thinker, and lifelong learner. I'm ready and excited to contribute meaningfully to the world of software development!
