I'm a software engineer with a breadth of IT experience, currently coordinating tech and web solutions at the UH Mānoa Career Center. Right now, I'm focused on solidifying my technical skills by building side projects, and experimenting with AI. Off the clock, I enjoy capturing moments through photography.
