I currently work as a full-time software engineer at Microsoft. I am passionate about working on customer-facing software products. The focus of my M.S. in CSE was to create intuitive and ubiquitous software, which I continue to strive for. My goal is to create products that are useful to my community and intuitive to use. I hope to be a global citizen and improve the lives of others.
