About My
Past
At Purple Maia Foundation I helped build the Kilo Dashboard, mapping water quality and environmental data across Hawaiʻi with Leaflet.js and State GIS APIs, shaped by feedback from 50+ ʻĀina Stewards practitioners.
Present
Currently a Software Engineer at Piikū Co., building Foodland's Maikai Rewards app with React Native and TypeScript, an app that reaches 92%+ of Hawaiʻi households, while studying Computer Science at UH Mānoa.
Future
I graduate in May 2027 and want to keep building products that serve real communities, from mobile apps to data-heavy web platforms. I'm open to roles where I can contribute meaningfully and keep growing.
