Hello, World!

I'm an entry-level software engineer in Los Angeles, California. My focus is primarily on backend development and scripting with Python. I also have an interest in system design, architecture, and AWS. Most recently, I was a full-stack intern at PennyMac Loan Services (one of the largest mortgage lenders in the United States) and a front-end developer for Coleman Hill Fine Art, an e-Commerce store on the Shopify platform. I’m currently open to work and seeking new opportunities, preferably applying my skills with Python and AWS. If you are a recruiter, feel free to contact me – I am happy to be in touch.

Origin Story

I have always been captivated by the challenge of solving difficult problems. This led me to explore electrical engineering at university. By the time I had gotten to 300-level courses, I knew I wanted to pursue a future in software development. While at university, I specialized in computer engineering with classes like: Assembly Language, Programmable Logic, Microprocessors, Design of Digital Computers, FPGA Design, etc. Outside of school, I focused on learning Python, Django, Javascript, React, AWS, Docker, and CI/CD tools like Github Actions.
