About

I'm a full stack software engineer at Verizon based in Edison, New Jersey. I graduated Rutgers University in May 2025 with a double major in computer science and math. I enjoy bringing ideas to life through new projects, whether by developing solutions in my work, building side projects, or teaming up at hackathons.
