About Me

Curious. Quiet.
Problem Solver.

I'm a seasoned full-stack web developer with a strong focus on Python and Django, complemented by a solid background in DevOps. I’m proficient in managing web servers, firewalls, database instances, and security protocols.

Currently at UC Berkeley for nearly 11 years, I’ve built custom Django applications, migrated complex email marketing systems, and help maintain secure, scalable infrastructure.

My career began as a Computer Repair Technician at Kontron America, where I specialized in repairing ruggedized computer systems through detailed failure analysis and troubleshooting. That hands-on technical foundation later expanded into web and digital work at Humane Society Silicon Valley, where I transitioned from marketing into web development, producing everything from auction videos to full website implementations.
