About

Im a software engineer who loves building scalable systems. Currently finishing my degree in Math and CS at UIUC, expected May 2026. Ive built products from scratch, founded Evently (600 users, 70 vendors), and interned at Centric where I optimized cloud systems serving 200+ tenants. I work across the stack with React, Next.js, Flutter, Node, Firebase, Docker, and Kubernetes. When Im not coding, youll find me watching F1 races, talking about cars, or grinding leetcode.
