Highlights & Updates

This week, I had the honor of being invited to Apple Park in Cupertino for WWDC26 — and it was every bit as inspiring as I'd hoped. As a developer building for the Apple ecosystem through my passion projects, getting an inside look at how Apple approaches great design was invaluable. I've been following Liquid Glass closely since its debut last year, and seeing that design philosophy up close, in the place where it was created, gave me a whole new appreciation for the thinking behind it.

The highlight for me was the hands-on access. I took part in in-person design labs, where getting direct feedback from the people who shape Apple's design language sharpened how I think about my own work, along with a range of other labs that let me dig into the technical side of building for the platform. There's something about working through problems face-to-face with Apple's teams that no video session or documentation can replicate.

Just as memorable was the community. I met developers from all sorts of industries: people leading the efforts behind an incredibly wide array of experiences. Every conversation was a reminder of how much range and creativity exists in this ecosystem. Being surrounded by that energy in person made the week feel less like a conference and more like a gathering of people who genuinely love what they build.

Huge thanks to the teams at Apple for the invitation. Experiences like this are exactly why I love building for this ecosystem — and I'm already looking forward to what comes next.

New Role on Boeing's 737 MAX Program
May 1, 2026

 

I'm excited to share that I've stepped into a new role as an Avionics Design Engineer at Boeing, working on the 737 MAX Flight Management System, which powers the aircraft's autopilot, guidance, and navigation.

My work is software-focused, spanning testing, validation, and project management for the next release, which will be deployed on nearly every 737 MAX in the country. It's genuinely challenging work — the kind that demands precision on every line of code — and that's exactly what makes it so rewarding. I truly love what I do. There's nothing quite like knowing the software you test and validate helps guide aircraft safely through the skies every single day.

That said, this move is bittersweet. My time with my previous team was incredibly rewarding, and I'm proud that my primary project there has been nominated for a President's Award, the highest honor to recieve at Boeing — a testament to the talent and dedication of everyone I worked alongside. I'll always be grateful for what we built together.

 

But it's time for a new chapter, and I couldn't be more excited about what's ahead.

My New Position at Boeing Commercial Airplanes
July 19, 2024

 

I recently launched my post-graduate career in aerospace, specifically in commercial aviation, which is a dream come true for me. I have the honor of working on complex commercial aircraft, which has been incredibly rewarding, challenging, and exciting. Specifically, I am implementing core software for end-to-end connectivity testing for systems on 737 MAX, 777X, and 787.

Essentially, my role is to rigorously test, design, and validate any system that transmits data from commercial aircraft to the ground. I am primarily working at Boeing Field (KBFI) in Seattle, WA.

I’m proud to share that I have officially graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Management Science & Engineering.

Pursuing such a rigorous academic path challenged me in ways I never expected — and I’m immensely grateful that I stepped outside of my comfort zone to do so.

 

Earning a degree from one of the world’s premier institutions has been a lifelong dream, and my time at Stanford was nothing short of extraordinary. I’ll always cherish the memories, the people, and the adventures that shaped my journey.

Thank you all who supported me and got me to where I am today!

I was honored to be featured in an Intern Spotlight during my internship at AT&T’s global headquarters in Dallas, TX.

Over the course of the program, I had the incredible opportunity to blend my technical and business skill sets to better understand the infrastructure and products that help connect communities across our country — and the world.

Even within a short time frame, I’m proud of the impact I was able to make and grateful for the experience to contribute meaningfully at the intersection of technology and communication.

Technical Research Fellowship with Condoleezza Rice
June 16, 2023

Over the past year, I had the privilege of conducting research in Institutional Programming as an Undergraduate Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

 

As part of the fellowship, I had the rare and invaluable opportunity to work with Director Condoleezza Rice, whose insights deeply enriched my experience.

 

This incredible year culminated with a final presentation of my work to Director Rice and other Hoover fellows and directors.

 

I’m especially grateful to my mentor, Denise Elson, and the entire Institutional Programming team for their guidance and support. It was an honor to learn from the extraordinary individuals at Hoover and to engage with their leading-edge research in public policy and governance.

From Stanford Law to The Daily Show: Telling a Story that Resonated
October 18, 2023

I’m excited to share that a video I directed, edited, and produced has been officially published by Stanford Law School — and the story it features aired last night on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Michael Kosta.

This project was an incredible opportunity to combine storytelling with legal insight, and I’m grateful to have played a part in bringing it to a national audience.

Special thanks to Alyssa Ashdown and Stephanie Ashe in Stanford Law’s Office of Public Communications for their trust and guidance throughout the process. I learned so much about the law, media, and the power of narrative through this experience.
