I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Kansas who values collaboration and problem-solving. With experience in software development, continuous improvement engineering, and client solutions, I aim to deliver clean, maintainable code that solves problems. I have experience with Python, C, C++, C#, HTML/CSS, SQL, MATLAB, and JavaScript.

Outside of coding and academics, I'm part of the University Honors Program and actively involved in the KU community through groups like the National Society of Black Engineers, the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program, iHawke, and the Multicultural Scholars Program. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, exploring philosophy, working on self-development, and taking photos.
