I love to craft products at the intersection of design, technology, and human experience. I'm driven by a single question: how do we create tools that feel intuitive yet engaging?

Growing up on California's central coast, I watched how thoughtful infrastructure, like trails, bridges, and overlooks, transformed how people experienced wild spaces. That fascination with human-centered engineering led me to California Polytechnic State University, a learning-by-doing focused school, where I earned my BS in Software Engineering. This approach now shapes how I work with emerging technologies like AI: I don't just want to build these tools; I want to understand how people navigate them.

Currently, I'm pursuing my master's in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, specializing in AI and Human-Computer Interaction. My research explores how AI can empower non-technical game designers in educational settings, making powerful technology accessible to everyone.

Based in Seattle, I explore the Pacific Northwest through hiking and camping, run a side business buying and selling Pokémon cards, and create graphic design and digital art.
