01 — About
I’m a CS + Business student at USC who builds practical software — from AI agents to full-stack products and data tools used in real workflows. I’ve shipped in fast environments like Datadog and Capital One. Focused on solving real problems with clean code and systems that scale. Currently working on Stacksense, an AI infrastructure tool.
