Navy veteran. Former enterprise tech sales. Now CS senior at UC Davis (graduating '26).
My background shaped how I approach code — sales taught me that users care about ease-of-use above almost everything else, and the military gave me a systematic approach to debugging and problem-solving. My philosophy: good software shouldn't only exist for edge cases.
Right now I'm focused on AI tooling, prompt engineering, and cloud/CI-CD — actively seeking internships and new grad SWE roles in Sacramento/Bay Area.
