About

Engineer brain, teacher patience, maker habits.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Central Florida, pursuing my degree since 2020. Through both academic work and hands-on experience, I've developed strong skills in software development, hardware integration, and problem-solving.

Before transitioning fully into engineering, I worked as an after-school care manager where I led a team of five to ten staff members. That experience strengthened my leadership, communication, and teamwork abilities, qualities that continue to guide my approach to engineering projects today.

As a freelance software engineer and IT professional, I've collaborated with multiple clients on both new and ongoing projects, providing solutions in web development, systems integration, and technical troubleshooting.
