Backend-focused software engineer with a mathematics background. I build full-stack web applications using Python and Flask, and I enjoy understanding systems from architecture down to execution. I have hands-on experience designing relational data models, integrating external APIs, and implementing low-level computer systems components from first principles.

• Backend Development (Python, Flask)
• REST API Design & OAuth Integration
• Relational Data Modeling (SQL, SQLAlchemy)
• Data Processing & Transformation (Pandas)
• Computer Architecture & Virtual Machines
• Git-based Collaborative Workflows

Full-stack web application with authentication and per-user data isolation. Designed relational schemas and implemented dynamic filtering and state management. Deployed publicly for live testing.

Generates Spotify playlists from historical Billboard data. Integrated Spotify API with OAuth, built data processing pipelines using Pandas, and implemented asynchronous frontend updates.

Implemented a 16-bit CPU, assembler, and stack-based VM translator from first principles, reinforcing understanding of instruction flow, memory access, and execution pipelines.

• Contributing to HackforLA
• Continuing to deepen backend and systems knowledge
• Open to collaboration on backend-focused projects
