About

- I am a CS student who loves building and am known for pixel-perfect execution and strong attention to small details. - Passionate about exploring new technologies and turning ideas into reality through polished, thoughtfully crafted personal projects. - At my core, I'm curious not just about technology, but about how it shapes the way people think, act, and grow. That curiosity pushes me beyond just coding into exploring meaning and purpose.
