From fixing tech issues at my family’s driving school to re-soldering Sanwa buttons on a broken MIDI controller, hands-on problem-solving has always been who I am. As a software engineer, I focus on building technology that makes creative expression and community more accessible. Whether developing “The Move,” a platform that connects independent artists with venues, or “TYPEBEAT,” helping creators gather audio more easily. The experiences I’ve had in community arts continue to guide how I design, build, and think about impact. More recently, I was selected to join an engineering team building an AI learning tool, where I contributed to creating a prompt-composition pipeline that enables the chatbot to personalize its responses based on student context and learning needs. I’ve also leaned into tools like Cursor and v0 for rapid prototyping, helping me move from idea to implementation on personal projects faster while staying focused on building genuine, usable experiences. I’m always learning and looking for new ways to build software that helps people feel more connected to art, opportunity, and each other.
