When I was young, very few things stood out to me. of those things, numbers and logic took my focus above all else. Understanding what I could from them drove me to higher education and eventually to where I got my degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz. It was here where my passion to learn flourished.

Reduced PostgreSQL query latency from 2m to 2s by indexing database tables and refactoring queries, reducing their complexity
