About me

Profile Image

Hello hello!

I am one of the Co-Founders for the social media application, Popper! As a UCSD Alumni with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, I am using my knowledge and skill set to shake up the social media industry with a new platform that will inspire users to go out, plan some events, and meet some new people.

I am a Frontend Software Engineer responsible for designing and building solutions from the ground up with pragmatic tech choices, stellar performance, and seamless user experience. I am a leader aiming to be at the forefront of whatever industry I set myself to be a part of utilizing my passion for development and my eye for intuitive user design.

When I am not coding, I enjoy a healthy work-life balance filled with early morning workouts, nighttime reading or puzzles of any variety, and the occasional adult soccer/basketball league game to make sure I am still a baller. I am also quite the binge watcher if I ever get the chance and I can't say no to exploring nature with some good company.

If you have any inquiries for myself or about the business, feel free to reach out here using one of the icons below! Thanks!
