About / San Jose

Curious on purpose.

I like the point where a system stops matching my mental model. That has led me from live gymnastics scoring to Windows event logs, browser automation, DNS failures, and a slightly over-engineered home kiosk. Away from code, I’ve played piano since sixth grade. Both reward the same habit: notice what changed, recover, and keep going.

Why SJSU?A full scholarship. Easy choice.
