Davis, CA · open to new-grad SWE roles

I'm a software engineer who graduated from USC with a B.S. in Computer Science in May 2026. I like owning the whole stack — Valt is a SwiftUI app, a TypeScript API and a Postgres database, and I built all three. Most recently I've been leading an engineering team and making slow dashboards fast.
