About

// who's behind the keyboard

I like knowing how systems work — and how they break.

I'm a final-year Computer Science student at California State University, Sacramento, with a strong interest in cybersecurity, IT infrastructure and software development.

My background is an unusual mix: years of hands-on technical troubleshooting behind a retail counter, full-stack development on apps that are live in production, and AI training work evaluating model output. Together they've taught me to diagnose fast, explain clearly and build things that hold up.

Right now I'm deepening my knowledge of networking and security best practices while working toward my Security+, Network+ and Google Cybersecurity certifications — and looking for the role that launches my career in security.

Sentra Guide

AI-powered assistive tech for people with visual impairments

Built in three days at Sacramento State's Carlsen Center with two teammates. Sentra uses real-time computer vision to identify nearby objects and obstacles, then speaks audio alerts so the user knows what's around them. We mounted a camera on a white cane to test it as a physical prototype, and reshaped the design around feedback from people with visual impairments, nurses and a retina specialist.
