About Me
My background in Computer Science & Engineering and Cognitive Science let me understand how people think, which helps me build technology that truly works for them. I care deeply about designing experiences that feel easy, natural, and meaningful. I bridge design and development through the lens of empathy, simplicity, and curiosity because good design should never feel complicated.
