// about

Hi, I’m a 20-year-old Computer Science student and developer from San Antonio, Texas. I’m especially interested in low-level systems and building software that makes life better for the people I care about and for myself. I primarily work in Linux and most often use Python and Java to turn ideas into practical tools. What drives me most is solving real problems through thoughtful, efficient software. I’m naturally drawn to optimization and guided by a purpose-oriented mindset: if something does not have a clear purpose, I would rather leave it out.
