Bachelor's degree

Master's degree

I contributed to full-stack development using Flutter and Node.js while also taking a role in designing our UI/UX and software architecture. I rapidly learned new technologies such as Docker, Azure services and Socket.io. Our team followed Scrum and applied user-centered design principles through iterative prototyping and user testing.
Our application won the Accenture Quality Award where software quality was evaluated across the entire year’s class.

Junior Software Developer

I enhanced code quality and student projects through code reviews and supervisory skills.

Teaching Assistant

10-week student startup accelerator program. Developed and launched a startup venture while receiving mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and industry coaches.
Gained extensive new learnings in pivoting & business strategy through hands-on startup development.
Selected as one of 17 teams from 223 applicants (7.6% acceptance rate).

Participant at Ignite Startup Accelerator

Built a marketplace for photographers from the ground up after conducting interviews to gather user requirements.
Some of the new technical learnings: Stripe payment integration, Google & Microsoft integrations, automated email onboarding sequences, optimized image handling and iterating with user feedback.
Other learnings: Business strategy & operations through hands-on experience with cold calling, direct sales and customer outreach (successfully acquired paying customers). Pivoting based on market feedback and user validation.

Co-Founder & CTO

I help coaches, consultants, creators and personal brands build clear, conversion-focused websites that turn attention into clients.
Most personal brands already have an audience but no clear system for turning visitors into booked calls, leads or sales.
I build simple, modern websites that:
• explain what you do clearly
• build trust quickly
• make it easy for people to buy, book or contact you

Founder | Websites for personal brands

I rapidly learned low-code programming and developed a system independently for a customer. The application integrated Siemens' IoT solution and visualized sensor data and was iterated based on client feedback. I also functioned as my own Product Owner as I initiated the requirement analysis, prioritized work items, and designed and implemented the system.
