About Me

I began programming in Java during my sophomore year of high school, and since then, I’ve developed several projects that I’m proud of. One of my early accomplishments was designing a 2D platformer and boss rush game using Unity and C#. Players had to navigate challenging obstacle courses and face unique boss fights at the end of each level.

In college, I developed a mobile chess app for Android using Java and Android Studio in collaboration with a partner. The app allowed users to move pieces only when a move was valid, review previous games, save replays, and even receive AI-generated move suggestions.

Throughout my journey, I’ve continued to explore and build projects that deepen my passion for software engineering. I’m a fast learner and an effective communicator. With a background in acting, I’m confident in presenting ideas clearly and engagingly, both individually and in team settings.
