About Me
I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Maryland with a passion for building products that matter. From winning hackathons to leading engineering teams, I thrive on turning complex problems into elegant solutions.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source, or helping fellow students build their first projects. I believe in learning by doing and sharing knowledge with others.
