About Me

Driven by data. Focused on impact.

I'm a Computer Science grad student at Seattle University, specializing in Data Science. I'm 3x AWS certified, including Solutions Architect Associate, and serve as Cloud Solutions Lead for Seattle University's AWS Cloud Club.

I work as an Operations Technician & Customer Service Specialist at Seattle University's Campus Services and consult at Statistics Without Borders, guiding teams on data workflows and technical strategy. I design and build cloud-native solutions, from serverless data pipelines to RAG-powered chatbots on AWS.

I thrive at the intersection of cloud architecture, data engineering, and applied ML. I've published IEEE research on deep learning and I'm driven by designing systems that are reliable, scalable, and solve real problems.
