// about me

I build complete
products, solo.

From concept to deployed — I handle every layer. Backend APIs, database design, mobile frontends, CI/CD pipelines, and algorithmic systems. No handoffs, no waiting.

Currently studying Computer Engineering at Cal State East Bay while building two products solo: Curio — an AI-powered reading app live on iOS and Android — and Scenara, a full prediction markets platform.
