Software Engineer

Always learning.

About

Class of 2027 B.Sc. in Data Engineering & B.Sc. Applied Mathematics at Texas A&M University.

I have interned 3x as a Software Engineer in platform engineering at a major logistics company.

I am also a Game Engine Developer at Anvil Studio.

In my free time, I enjoy learning Graphics Programming and designing performant code, aiming to create math visualizations using C++ and shaders.

When I'm not at the computer I'm usually training MMA, enjoying mediterranean food, or spending time with family.
