About Me: I am a soon-to-graduate Software Engineer from Hack Reactor’s 16-week immersive program (graduating October 2025), with a B.S. in Biochemistry and minors in Psychology and Political Science from UC San Diego. Through the bootcamp, I gained a wide but relatively shallow foundation across full-stack web development. I recognize that my experience is still developing, but I am motivated to build depth through real-world practice, mentorship, and continuous learning.

I value collaboration and engineering best practices such as Agile, pair programming, code reviews, and CI/CD. More than seeking a job for income alone, I am looking for a role where I can grow as an engineer, strengthen my computer science fundamentals, and become deeply proficient in the technologies I’ve learned while continuing to expand into new ones. My priority is to work hard, learn quickly, and contribute meaningfully while steadily developing into a strong and well-rounded engineer.
