About

I’m a Software Engineer focused on project management and building AI-enabled solutions that actually deliver. I’ve led sprints, worked across cross-functional teams, and helped turn complex ideas into clear, executable plans from requirements to delivery. With a strong technical foundation and a focus on execution, I bring structure, clarity, and momentum to every project. Currently stepping into a co-op Project Management role at AMD, building toward a career in Product and AI-driven systems.
