About

Learn about me.

I'm a data analyst and full-stack developer who builds data products end to end — from ETL pipelines and machine-learning models to the React frontends that put insights in front of users. My work includes a real-time poker analytics platform supporting 1,000+ concurrent users, a campus app serving ~2,000 UCR students, and a year of hands-on information security experience in banking.

Beyond the technical side, I bring strong analytical thinking, data-driven decision-making, and clear communication to every team I work with. I do my best work in open, cross-functional environments where I'm always learning from the people around me.

On a more personal note, I was born in Seattle, WA and grew up in Irvine, CA. My hobbies include tennis, surfing, video editing, coding, and movies.
