About Me

I first found my passion for computer science at 8 years old! Since then, I went on to learn different programming languages whenever I got the chance. I'm proficient in Java, C++, JavaScript, HTML & CSS, Python, and Ruby/Ruby on Rails. Aside from coding, you can find me volunteering, painting, or drawing — anything where I can express myself creatively!

Experience

As a Google CSSI Scholar for the class of 2021, I allocated 45 hours attending daily live code-alongs as well as configured 7+ individual coding projects utilizing concepts from a JavaScript and Firebase curriculum taught by Google engineers. At CSSI, I also had the opportunity to attend product design, resume development, and software engineering interview workshops hosted by some amazing and talented Googlers!

— Summer 2021

As a Google STEP Intern, I worked backend in C++ on the Route Decoration Platform Team under Google Maps. My podmate and I collaborated to reinvent the RDP API, which provides descriptive information to routes (think elevation, traffic, and timing summaries), while refactoring over 1500 lines of code in the Google codebase! I also got to test my code by implementing a server flag and made real-time requests in Google Maps to the RDP service.
