Fifteen years old, five years coding.
I turn ideas into things you can tap, click, and play.
I started writing code when I was ten. Since then I've shipped iOS apps, built websites for clients including Boston Children's Hospital, and won the 2026 Swift Student Challenge. I treat every project like it deserves real design.
