About

I am a student in Harvard's class of 2026 studying computer science and economics. I am originally from Washington, D.C. and have lived in Silver Spring, MD my whole life until moving to Cambridge, MA for college.

My passion for computer science and software development began at an early age and I first started coding through my high school AP Computer Science classes. Since then, I have gained profieceny in Java, Python, C, HTML/CSS, and more. I am especially interested in using technology for social good and creating a positive impact within my community. Although I am still learning, I enjoy discovering and practicing new tools to make me a better programmer. I hope this portfolio can provide some insight into my experience as a student and aspiring software engineer.
