About Me

Hello! I'm Christian, a Computer Science student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, currently in my final year pursuing a bachelor's degree. I’m excited to apply my skills and gain real-world experience in software engineering.

I've interned as a Front-End Developer at CIOptimize, where I leveraged modern technologies to build a high-performance Resource Allocation Tool in a fast-paced startup.

Outside of my technical pursuits, I’m passionate about music and nature, both of which inspire the core concepts of my current projects.

I'm currently looking for new entry-level oppurtunities in software engineering. If you're looking for a motivated learner and developer, feel free to contact me—I'd love to connect and discuss how I can contribute to your team!
