About me

Hey! I’m a software engineer focused on frontend. I’m currently a master’s student at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa studying computer science. I expect to graduate in Fall 2026.

I’ve worked a lot with TypeScript, React, and Next.js. I like building software systems and understanding how the pieces fit together.

Work

Most of my experience comes from internships and research projects building web applications.

During a research experience for undergraduate students (REU) with the Hawaii Climate Data Portal at UH, I rebuilt a deprecated climate data visualization app.

In an internship with Vanta.gg, I explored web game development and built a small web game using Phaser.io and JavaScript.

I was a software engineering intern at Zippy’s, where I did frontend development in a team environment that followed agile development practices.

Currently, I’m working with Malama Go, building web applications and working across both frontend and backend systems.

Interests

I’m curious about the human aspects of computing, such as human-computer interaction and UI/UX. I’m currently interested in AI and education, particularly how generative AI impacts learning and teaching in computer science education.

Outside of school and work, I like to tinker with programs and learn about how web apps work across the stack. I also watch anime, play video games, and run the Counter-Strike 2 esports team at UH Mānoa.
