I build mobile apps that people actually want to use, and I'm currently looking for my first full-time dev role after graduating from Cal Poly Pomona.
I just wrapped up my CS degree at Cal Poly Pomona, and honestly, the best part wasn't the lectures—it was seeing people actually use the apps I built. There's something magical about watching someone navigate through something you created from scratch.
My biggest win so far? PantryPlanner, an Android app that helps people track their groceries and reduce food waste. It started as a "wouldn't it be cool if..." idea and ended up on the Google Play Store with real users giving feedback. That whole journey—from figuring out Firebase to navigating app store approval—taught me more about development than any textbook ever could.
I also led a team of 5 developers building "NewSpace"—a social media platform where I learned that managing people is just as important as managing code. We used Agile methodologies, which basically means we had a lot of meetings but somehow still shipped features every two weeks.
Now I'm ready to take all this energy and these skills to a company that builds products people love. I'm particularly drawn to places where I can work on mobile apps, lead projects, and maybe even mentor other developers who are just starting out like I was not too long ago.
Flutter is my go-to for building cross-platform apps. I've shipped a real app to the Play Store and know the ins and outs of making mobile experiences that don't suck.
React for the frontend, Django for the backend. I can build complete web applications from the database to the user interface, though I'll admit my CSS skills are still a work in progress.
I know my way around databases and cloud services. Got my Google Cloud certification and can set up everything from user authentication to data storage.
Led a 5-person dev team through a complete social media platform build. Turns out coordinating people is harder than coordinating code, but way more rewarding.
From classroom projects to published apps—here's what I've been working on
My first published Android app! It tracks your groceries, sends expiration reminders, and suggests recipes based on what's about to go bad. Started because I was tired of throwing away expensive produce, ended up being a great learning experience in mobile development.
Led a team of 5 developers to build a full-stack social media platform from scratch. This was my crash course in project management—bi-weekly sprints, code reviews, user testing, the whole nine yards.
Completed Google's comprehensive cloud computing certification. Learned everything from setting up virtual machines to deploying scalable applications. Now I actually understand what "the cloud" means!
I'm actively looking for my first full-time software development role. If you're hiring junior developers or know someone who is, I'd love to chat!
