Hey there! 👋

Just wrapped up my CS degree at Cal State Bakersfield and I’m headed to UC Davis this fall for my Master’s. I’m basically interested in everything tech-related, which makes choosing a research focus both exciting and slightly terrifying.

Tip

Currently working on quantum computing research and electricity price forecasting while tutoring students and developing games. Always juggling too many projects!

Current Research & Work

🔬 Quantum Computing Research

Diving deep into qubits and superposition with Qiskit. Still wrapping my head around quantum entanglement, but hey, that’s the fun part!

⚡ Electricity Price Forecasting

Using ML and Monte Carlo simulations to predict energy prices. Making computers guess the future is harder than it sounds.

👨‍🏫 Teaching & Mentoring

Tutoring 90+ students across Computer Architecture, Web Dev, and App Development. Helping others debug their code (and their logic).

🔧 Engineering Support

Assisting 10+ senior design teams with prototyping and research. From concept to creation, I help make ideas real.
