About Me

I'm a Growth Software Engineer at Meta with 6+ years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications. I specialize in full-stack development, AWS infrastructure, and optimizing user experiences for millions of daily active users.

With a CS degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I'm passionate about solving complex full-stack problems and building products that matter.
