Volunteer Work

Fostered an inclusive and positive team environment where players built confidence, developed discipline, and learned the value of working together toward shared goals.
Projects
A web app designed to solve a problem most people have but rarely address — financial accounts scattered across banks, apps, and institutions with no single view of the full picture. The goal is to give users one clean, organized place to track everything: checking and savings accounts, loans, mortgages, rent, recurring expenses, and income streams. Instead of logging into five different places, you see it all at once.

Beyond the Resume
Lifelong soccer player. I've been playing my whole life and was captain of my high school team — it's shaped how I think about teamwork, competition, and putting in the work every day.
Ski season is my season. When winter hits, you'll find me on the mountain. There's nothing better than a full day on the slopes in the PNW.
Nature is my reset. I love getting outside — being in nature clears my head and recharges me in a way nothing else really does.
Certified deep-diver. When something catches my interest, I go all in researching it. I love learning random things and getting genuinely obsessed with a topic.
I've seen Lionel Messi play live. Twice. Not many people can say that — and I'm one of them. Easily two of the best sporting moments of my life.
Avid coffee lover. I'm on a mission to master all kinds of coffee — espresso, pour-overs, lattes, you name it. Mostly motivated by wanting to impress my girlfriend with a great cup.
