FULL-STACK DEVELOPER & CLOUD ARCHITECT
Crafting digital experiences that matter. I build scalable web applications and cloud solutions that solve real problems and create lasting impact.
About Me
The story behind the code
The Developer
I'm a Computer Science major at Cal State LA and a Junior Web Developer Associate for the University–Student Union. I build accessible, responsive websites using React, TypeScript, and styled-components—focused on performance, usability, and scalability. My stack includes Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, and I specialize in reusable components, better a11y, and solving real frontend challenges.
The Problem Solver
I don't just ship features—I solve problems that matter. Whether I'm debugging critical layout issues or designing inclusive components with custom responsive styling, I thrive in constraints and deliver maintainable, scalable solutions that users can trust.
The Human
Outside the editor, I'm into inclusive design, clear docs, and helping others grow. I explore how AI tools like V0 and Copilot can enhance—never replace—creative development. I'm currently prepping for AWS certs, building full-stack apps, and documenting it all with purpose.
Always Learning
Current Focus
Building standout full–stack projects using Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind while preparing for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification. Focused on accessibility, performance, and real-world deployment using Vercel.
Exploring
Exploring design–to–code AI tools like V0, advanced React patterns, and scalable UI systems with shadcn/ui and styled–components. Also refining cloud fundamentals and staying sharp with version control best practices.
Next Up
Deepening backend skills with API design, authentication, and AWS architecture. Contributing to open source and launching the Interview Prep Tracker—my self–paced system for mastering DSA and system design before job season.
"The day you stop learning is the day you stop growing. I'm committed to staying curious."
