My Work

Here's a summary of my work so far.


Summary

As a teenager, I was the kid my family and friends approached about issues with their phone or laptop. I was the go-to guy for fixing and resolving any technical problems. Today, not much has changed. I’m still the first point of call for technical issues. The difference is that I am now also pursuing my dream of being a software developer and engineer. After completing my undergrad, I leaned into my entrepreneurship endeavor and started my company at 20, worked on it for a year and now I'm pursuing a master's of science in computer science from The George Washington University, Washington DC!

In my spare time, I like to make videos, documenting my life through my camera. It's my hobby, I try to capture every little moment and live my life fully with my friends and family.
