About Me
Charting New Territory
With Self-Belief
Welcome to my portfolio where I showcase my work in the fields of data analytics and software development! Here is a little bit of my background...
Based in Anaheim, CA, I turned a setback into a gateway for innovation by betting on myself and embracing tech as my true calling. After an unexpected career twist, I dove headfirst into two intensive bootcamps in full stack web development and data analysis. I returned to school to complete my Bachelor of Science degree, graduating summa cum laude, and now I'm a proud graduate candidate for the Master of Science in Analytics program at the Georgia Institute of Technology for Fall 2025. Combining bootcamp experience, self-taught skills, and rigorous academic training, I'm channeling my passion into breakthrough solutions. Join me as I break new ground and redefine what's possible in technology! 🚀
When I'm not coding or analyzing data, you'll find me spending quality time with my four-legged best friend, Kai 🐕, or cheering on my favorite teams (Go Seahawks, Dodgers, and Lakers! 🏈 ⚾ 🏀). I love the strategic thinking of poker, the camaraderie of playing softball with friends, and the precision of bowling. These passions not only keep me balanced but also mirror the skills I bring to tech: strategy, teamwork, and consistent execution. 🎯
