about me

Headshot_edited.png

​i'm a mechanical engineering and eecs student at uc berkeley interested in how products are shaped by the people who use them.

i care about the gap between consumer behavior and technical execution — from tracking social media trends through content creation to building systems that stay intuitive for users and practical for engineering teams.

 

my work lies in that intersection between building tech for users and growing the product to reach them. 

my philosophy is alignment: how something works, how it’s used, and why it exists in the first place.
 

shipping isn't a race; it's the link between user to engineer to market.
