About

I’m a Full Stack Developer with professional experience building and supporting web applications across backend, frontend, and deployment workflows. My core focus is delivering reliable application features using .NET/C#, building REST APIs, and integrating user interfaces with backend services.

I’ve worked in enterprise teams and also contribute to open-source initiatives, where I’ve taken on responsibilities spanning technical delivery, collaboration, and engineering practices (reviews, workflows, and sprint execution). I’m currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Saint Louis University.
