I’m a Software Engineer and an MS in Computer Science student at the University of Southern California, graduating in May 2026.

I currently work as a Software Developer at the USC Digital Repository (since April 2025), where I build backend systems for the long-term preservation of cultural and academic digital content.

Previously, I spent two years at Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG) as a Software Engineer (2022–2024), working on authentication & authorization systems, observability, and performance optimization. During that time, I earned three company recognition awards and was promoted to Senior Software Engineer within 18 months.

Here are a few projects I’ve built recently:

• 🦭 Seal – A job board that continuously tracks openings at target companies
