About

I am an English Linguistics student with a strong technical focus on computational analysis and software development. I enjoy bringing AI into practical workflows, using Python and modern LLM APIs to build everything from automated data pipelines to a fully published mobile app. I thrive at the intersection of language and technology, where I can turn complex systems into smart, user-friendly tools.
