About Me
I worked in academia from 2011 to 2023. Currently I am a front-end developer with a touch of back-end at Procore. With a strong academic foundation and expertise in algorithm design, data structures, and complexity analysis, I focus on solving complex problems through simple and maintainable software solutions. I also bring solid problem-solving skills in theoretical computer science, particularly in areas such as computational geometry and algorithmic analysis.
