I build at the edge where precision meets improvisation. Over the last year, I crossed the country and brought home 9 hackathon wins, from mental-health tools and secure banking systems to playful LLM experiments. I'm obsessed with the moment an idea jumps from a sketch to something people actually use.

Lately I've been prototyping iOS interfaces in SwiftUI and studying Human-AI Interaction, designing systems that adapt, collaborate, and start with empathy. I care about evaluation as much as invention: measuring whether an AI actually helps people, not just whether it "works."

Some ideas grow outside competition, either scribbled in a notebook or sparked over coffee. That's how ClickClack and Toastology started: tiny experiments that became shared experiences.

When I'm not coding, I'm still making—bread rising, coffee pulling, ideas quietly unfolding. Creativity doesn't end with the workday; it just changes form.

I'm drawn to work that begins with curiosity and evolves into the unexpected.
