About Me

I'm a developer who enjoys building thoughtful digital experiences where interface design and engineering come together. I care about software that feels clear, polished, and genuinely useful from the first interaction.

I'm currently finishing a Master's in Computer Science while building full-stack projects with Next.js, React, and TypeScript. This past summer I completed a six-week software development internship at Payoda Technologies, working on backend APIs and Jira integration for an AI-assisted requirements platform in a six-person Agile team. Outside of that, I built AgentComms — a communication and governance layer for coordinating multiple AI coding agents — after running into real context-loss and hallucination problems trying to manage them by hand.

June 8, 2026 - July 17, 2026

Developer Intern - Payoda Technologies

Completed a six-week software development internship on a six-member Agile team, working on backend APIs and third-party integration for an AI-assisted requirements-engineering platform.

  • Built and refined backend APIs for a Jira integration — project linking, work-item synchronization, status updates, and item-level actions — using Python and Django REST Framework.

  • Worked with PostgreSQL, database migrations, and project-scoped data so frontend screens were backed by persistent data instead of mock values.

  • Investigated and resolved API, synchronization, configuration, and CI failures, and improved environment setup and onboarding documentation for the team.

Current Focus

Frontend Craft

Building interfaces that feel fast, clear, and visually intentional across desktop and mobile.

AI Product Work

Learning how AI features, automation, and product usability come together in practical workflows.

Career Growth

Growing through real collaboration, consistent practice, and the habits that turn learning into delivery.
