I build technology that enhances what humans can do.
Computer engineering student, builder, creative and visionary.
I'm studying computer engineering at Florida State University; but what really drives me is a simple belief: technology should enhance humans, not replace them. The best tools in history made people more capable, more expressive, more themselves. I think software and AI can do the same; if built with that intention from the start.
My work lives at the intersection of embedded systems, AI, and creative engineering. I'm drawn to projects where small technical decisions create large human impact; where the code disappears and what remains is a person doing something they couldn't do before.
When I'm not coding: writing stories, playing ping pong, dancing salsa.

FAQ
Why computer engineering?
I wanted to understand how things are built at the most fundamental level; where hardware meets software, where a small decision ripples into real human experience. Embedded systems pulled me in because the stakes are real and the feedback is immediate.
What kind of projects do you work on?
Embedded systems, AI, and anything that sits at the edge between technical depth and human impact. I'm most alive when the project is hard to categorize; when it's engineering and design and philosophy all at once.
What does "enhance humans" mean to you?
A great tool makes you more of what you already are. A hammer doesn't replace the craftsman; it extends his capability. I think the best technology works exactly like that: invisible, amplifying, genuinely yours. That's the standard I build toward.
Can I reach out?
Always. If you're building something that enhances people, or just want to think out loud about technology and its direction. Send me an email. I read everything.
