About
Technology that is useful, understandable, and secure.
A concise introduction to the work and ideas that guide me.
I am a Rutgers University student studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science. I am interested in building technology that is practical, reliable, and shaped around the people who use it.
As an Assistant Supervisor with Rutgers Office of Information Technology, I support a large university community while helping consultants work through technical issues clearly and efficiently. That experience has strengthened my communication, troubleshooting, documentation, and leadership skills.
My current work sits at the intersection of web development, cybersecurity, and human-centered design. I enjoy turning complex problems into tools that help people make better decisions and use technology with more confidence.
Outside of technology, I enjoy gaming, history, and building LEGO. Those interests have a lot in common with the work I like to do: curiosity, strategy, and understanding how individual pieces fit together.
