I’m a Computer Science student at Stony Brook University with a minor in Digital Arts, focused on front-end development and UX/UI design. I enjoy building intuitive, responsive web applications using React and Next.js, and I’m especially interested in the intersection of design and engineering—where thoughtful visuals meet scalable, maintainable code. Through projects and engineering fellowships, I’ve gained experience collaborating in team environments, translating Figma designs into production-ready interfaces, and optimizing user flows for clarity and usability. I’m currently seeking a Summer Front-End or UX/UI Internship where I can continue building meaningful, user-centered products.
