About

I'm currently working at a startup called KERV as a software developer on the web team, where I use AI-powered workflows to build connected TV ad technology with JavaScript and AWS. Before joining Kerv, I was deepening my algorithm skills as a student at Watch and Code. Over the past few years, I've been developing primarily with React, JavaScript, and Node.js—turning ideas into reality with clean, efficient code. I earned a degree in computer science and led my university's hackathon, managing a team of 10 to build a mobile app downloaded 250 times.
