Computer Engineering student at Cal Poly working across web software, mobile applications, NFC hardware, and quantum algorithms.
Educational software
I built and deployed a platform that helps students keep track of schoolwork. I worked with two professors at Cal Poly on testing, security, and the ethical questions around the product.

I programmed the NFC flow and built the supporting software for a bracelet that directs customers to several digital payment systems. I also designed the bracelet to hold the chip and fit different wrist sizes.

I implemented Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s, and Shor’s algorithms in Qiskit and ran them on real quantum hardware. The work also included study and simulation of quantum error correction and quantum key distribution.
Superdense coding on GitHub
Student marketplace
I built an MVP where verified college students can list, find, and buy things such as bikes, furniture, and textbooks. Access is limited to students with verified college identities.
I’m from Sammamish, Washington, and now study in San Luis Obispo. My projects have taken me through web applications, mobile software, NFC hardware, payments, and quantum computing.
Outside my engineering studies I read philosophy, history, finance and technology. I’m keeping a reading index on this site because those subjects impact how I direct my focus in work, not a separate hobby.
