**Web and Mobile Student at Rochester Institute of Technology · Rochester, United States**

I’m a Web & Mobile Computing student at Rochester Institute of Technology who enjoys building clean, user-focused digital experiences and solving real technical problems.

I’ve worked with technologies like React, JavaScript, SQL, Firebase, and APIs to create responsive applications and collaborative projects that focus on both functionality and user experience. I’m especially interested in frontend development, UI design, and creating applications that feel intuitive and polished.

Outside of coding, I enjoy learning new technologies, improving my design skills, and finding ways to turn ideas into practical tools people can actually use. I’m currently looking for opportunities to continue growing as a developer, collaborate with others, and gain hands-on industry experience.
