Seattle, Washington
I’m a software developer who moved from biomedical research into full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, and AI—by building tools for real problems and following the questions that came next.
Featured work
Fast experiments, grounded in real-world problems.
01 / PRIVACY
August 2026
MLH × Midnight Hackathon
A privacy-preserving application that uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify a pet’s vaccination status without exposing the underlying medical record.
02 / AI + MAPS
March 2026
Amazon Nova AI Hackathon
A home-search application inspired by a problem I experienced as a dog owner: finding homes near good dog parks.
Selected projects
03 builds
A browser-based accessibility tool that runs multimodal inference locally—generating useful alt text without sending images to a backend.
Turns natural-language requests into structured rental filters through a full-stack search workflow.
Moves files and metadata through a Terraform-provisioned, cloud-native AWS architecture.
About me
While working in a biomedical research lab, I started teaching myself programming to automate repetitive workflows and build tools for the people around me. What began with Python scripts and a Java desktop application grew into full-stack development, cloud infrastructure, AI, and graduate study in computer science.
I’m continuing to learn the same way I started: by building projects, experimenting with new technologies, and participating in hackathons.
50%
less routine data-processing time with a Python automation tool
30%
faster data-entry turnaround with a Java specimen-records GUI
“I enjoyed being able to identify a practical problem, build something, and see the result immediately.”
