About
I work across software testing, simulation, embedded systems, and community technology. Growing up in Hawaii and teaching seniors through Digital Ready Hawaii shaped the standard I bring to that work: a system should be understandable, dependable, and useful where it is actually deployed.
Reliable systems should be understandable, local, and human.
Growing up on the islands, I learned to judge technology by whether it helps people do real work. Teaching seniors through Digital Ready Hawaii made patience, clarity, and trust feel like engineering requirements rather than finishing touches.
That standard carries across the systems I build and test. I care about the translation layer: the moment a software requirement becomes a repeatable regression test, a drone command becomes inspectable telemetry, a raw sensor reading becomes a useful cue, or backend data becomes a workflow a nonprofit can depend on.
At Cal Poly, I pair computer engineering fundamentals with a debug-first practice. I want the measurement model, interfaces, and failure states to be visible before the polish arrives, because reliable systems are built through evidence and iteration rather than presentation alone.
Work experience
Scope first, with metrics included only when they make the work easier to understand.
Software Test Engineer (Part-Time)
Automating Python and pytest regression testing and validating software behavior against functional, boundary, error, and regression requirements.
Systems Engineer Intern
Built and verified a Python multi-vehicle simulation environment integrating flight control, high-fidelity physics, telemetry, and reproducible test scenarios.
Software Engineer (Pro Bono)
Developed scheduling and data workflows for veteran and volunteer programs using Next.js, REST APIs, and MongoDB.
IT Assistant (Part-Time)
Diagnosed campus network, DNS, application-access, and end-user support issues across university systems.
Leadership & community
Project direction, developer support, and engineering work grounded in the people it serves.
Project Lead, Marching Band Haptic Feedback System
Leading continued development of a wearable haptic-feedback system designed to help visually impaired musicians navigate marching formations, while coordinating technical direction and project execution across hardware and software components.
Tech Lead
Leading technical setup and architecture for a nonprofit software project, translating product needs into scoped engineering work, onboarding developers, and establishing contribution, CI, and workflow standards.

Working principles
These are the behaviors behind the motto, not just portfolio copy.
I expose the system state instead of hiding it.
I design for the context where the tool is actually used.
I prefer calmer feedback over impressive noise.
