From Dallas to Seattle, I've been building the future since 9. I'm all in about about creating AI-powered solutions that solve real-world problems while maintaining academic excellence and competitive speech achievements.

"Innovation doesn't come from just mastery, it comes from being the first to combine two ideas together in a way that resonates with the problem." — My philosophy on building meaningful technology
