About Me

"I'll figure it out because I have to."

My coding journey started in 2022 with App Academy, and it quickly evolved into what some might call anunhealthy passion.Since then, I've been obsessed with building projects that solve real problems in mine and loved ones' day to day lives. I've always loved learning and figuring out how and why things work, so once I discovered the world of development, I finally felt like I found my thing.

Journey & Experience

Founder & Lead Developer

Late 2025 — Present

Launched Prism to provide end-to-end digital solutions for local small businesses. I've found that owners don't have the time to focus on their digital presence, so I offer the full project lifecycle as requested, including brand identity kits, custom web development and design, and social media marketing to help clients establish a cohesive online presence.

Software Engineering Intern

Early 2025

Built a Webapp + Chrome Extension using NextJS + WXT to automate both simple and complex surveys. Developed a secure communication layer between the web app, extension, and OpenAI API, protected by JWT-secured server-side authentication. Implemented intelligent form-filling logic leveraging OpenAI tool calling to dynamically map user generated profile data to diverse web elements (selections, checkboxes, inputs, navigating/detecting modals) with human-like pacing. Optimized scraping algorithms to detect modals and navigate multi-step forms, ensuring accuracy in automated survey entry, submission, and starting a new survey for a Japan-based client.

App Academy Web Development

2023

Engaged in a rigorous full-time software engineering program covering fullstack web development, algorithms, data structures, and computer science fundamentals.
