About Me
Who I Am
I am an engineer-product thinker. I bring a strong product mindset to software engineering. I combine design intuition with scalable architecture to build systems that are both functional and maintainable from day one.
My experience spans design and engineering across a variety of products, from a student housing platform, to an AI wedding planner, to an agentic movement coach. Each project pushed me to take ownership from problem definition to delivery, iterating quickly while keeping long-term maintainability in focus.
I have proven experience building production-quality code that is readable, well-tested, and extensible. I've designed systems end-to-end, including a blog CMS and an iOS onboarding feature, applying large-scale system design principles to ensure each solution is built to grow.
Beyond the code, I've led research-driven redesigns grounded in target user demographics. I understand that different user populations have fundamentally different needs. I also conceived the visual identity for TOKK, translating the concept of an AI coaching presence into a single, fluid visual.
Outside of work, I like reading novels, working out, gaming, watching anime, exploring different music genres, and practicing guitar.

Experience
TOKK
iOS Engineering Intern
Built and redesigned critical iOS systems including a custom SwiftUI authentication architecture, a modular WebSocket communication layer, an AudioPlaybackService, and a scalable MVVM onboarding experience. Worked within a cross-functional team to deliver clean, extensible foundations.
Nupt.AI
Software Engineering Intern
Reduced technical debt and implementation risk by speccing a blogging platform, defining core data models, entity relationships, and access control logic to align with business objectives. Designed and implemented a production-grade CMS backend supporting structured content workflows for admins, with role-based access control and a custom rich text editor integration.
UniShack
UI/UX Intern
Conducted user research specifically on UCLA students to distinguish their housing needs from those of general renters, surfacing key insights that directly shaped design decisions. Benchmarked major apartment platforms through competitive analysis to align the product with market standards. Defined core UI features and facilitated iterative design reviews with industry mentors throughout the prototyping process.
Projects
AfriGoal - Backend
A lightweight FastAPI backend for fetching African Cup of Nations (AFCON) team data using the LiveScore API. Built for integration with an iOS SwiftUI app.
VoiceOrb
A dynamic animated visual inspired by agentic AI interfaces with distinct color, glow, and motion states representing idle, listening, and talking behaviors
PhotoScavengerHunt
An iOS app that allows users to capture or select photos from large libraries and visualize them on a dynamic map with custom markers based on image metadata
TranslateMe
A multilingual translation app that uses the Memory API, Firestore for data persistence, and seamless navigation to manage and clear saved translations
TriviaGame
An app that challenges users with trivia questions spanning various categories and difficulties, featuring a timer, score tracking, and dynamic question management
