Software Engineer at IBM Cloud

I'm a software developer and design thinker excited about using my programming skills for real-world applications, with an interest in problems related to education (EdTech) and mental health. Some personal real-world activities I enjoy are rock climbing, photographing moments, and singing with friends.
