Featured Work

Things I've built

From backend APIs to game engines to scientific imaging — I like building things that solve real problems.

Event Organizer App

Full-stack event platform where I set up MongoDB, built React frontend features, supported the Linux backend environment, and contributed API work for event discovery, posting, and check-in flows.
