I am a software developer and hardware engineer passionate about solving problems with creative technologies. On the software side, I have worked on projects with Augmented Reality, Machine Learning, iOS development, and Flutter and won WWDC Scholarships from Apple in 2019 and 2020. I also am experienced in hardware with Raspberry Pi, circuit design, and 3D modeling and prototyping. An active participant in the developer community, I enjoy contributing to open source and have taught at iOS and TensorFlow conferences.
