Coming Soon
Frontend
I was a frontend developer at for three years. I worked on the Apple Online Store, where I did my best to build pages that achieved the vision of Apple's designers while also optimizing performance and accessibility. I was involved with product launches and built user-facing pages that served millions of customers. Last year, I rebuilt the website for USC's Mobile and Environmental Media Lab using Astro, Svelte 5 and Tailwind 4.
Graphics
I am currently attending USC pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science, primarily to learn more about game development and computer graphics. I've taken courses like Game Engine Development, Computer Graphics, and Computer Animation and Simulation. Additionally, I am reading "Metal by Tutorial" by Caroline Begbie to teach myself Metal. I hope to produce some Metal demos soon!
