I build software that protects people—from supporting the safety of U.S. citizens through missile-defense software to protecting players from hackers in online games with anti-cheat technology. I'm a UC Riverside Business Economics and Computer Science graduate with an active Secret clearance.

I build software that has to work when it matters.

I'm a University of California, Riverside graduate with bachelor's degrees in Business Economics and Computer Science. I started building and shipping software early, founding a software company at 16, and I've been hooked on hard systems problems ever since.

My work spans the stack but leans low-level: I've ported large-scale defense simulations across operating systems and compilers, stood up cloud infrastructure from bare metal, and written game and tooling systems in C++ and Java. I care about performance, correctness, and security software that has to work when it matters.
