A Purdue Computer Science graduate with cross-disciplinary coursework in industrial and chemical engineering, she brings strong systems thinking to both back-end and front-end development using Java, C/C++, JavaScript and Unix environments. Her background spans HP and Nokia internships where she delivered CRM and LTE verification tooling, reflecting comfort with both large-scale product engineering and low-level embedded or test automation work.
