I like problems where the first idea is slow and the right abstraction makes everything click. That mindset comes from competitive programming, and I bring it to production code.

Software engineer (B.Sc. Computer Science) with SDE internship experience at Amazon, strong in algorithms, problem solving, and full-stack development.
