I am a software engineer in the aerospace industry (Boeing) and a graduate student at the University of Washington. I like work that sits at the intersection of software and the real world: networks, distributed systems, and security.
I am most energized by problems where constraints matter: latency budgets, faults that only show up in production, and systems that need to stay understandable as they scale.
Outside of coursework, I enjoy prototyping ideas and building small "lab" setups that help me learn how modern network infrastructure behaves in practice.
Outside of tech, I'm fond of rock climbing and I'm currently taking an alpine climbing class.
I am focusing on fundamentals (routing, congestion control, and transport) while keeping an eye on the modern stack (QUIC, SDN, and cloud networking patterns).
