About me

I grew up in a small town in southern Indiana and am now a Computer Science student at Purdue University with hands-on experience designing customer-oriented solutions through technology and user research.

In my most recent project, Quitbar, I led an interdisciplinary student team to explore the feasibility and user demand for an evidence-informed vape cessation product. I conducted 10+ structured interviews with vape users and consulted domain experts to better understand withdrawal, habit formation, and the challenges of nicotine tapering. As part of this effort, I designed a system-level solution combining behavioral usage controls with gradual reduction to minimize user disruption.

I’ve also gained full-stack software development experience as an intern at Jasper Engines, where I collaborated with developers and business stakeholders to build production-facing internal systems supporting core manufacturing and operational workflows.

Outside of school, I enjoy cooking, traveling, reading the news, riding my bike, and listening to music. I’m fluent in Spanish and hope to spend extended time in a Spanish-speaking country to continue refining my proficiency.

I’m motivated by building thoughtful, user-centered software and am excited to apply my skills to develop products that meaningfully improve people’s lives.
