Who I Am

I'm a Computer Science junior at New Jersey City University focused on building performant, resilient products. I translate ambiguous ideas into clear architecture and polished user flows.

In summer 2026 I'm in NJCU's Undergraduate Summer Internship Program—a ten-week, paid cohort with workshops, faculty mentorship (Dr. Moitrayee Chatterjee), and a capstone project presentation.

Recent work spans full-stack web apps, lightweight APIs, and data-driven features. I'm intentional about accessibility, design systems, and measurable impact.

Notes

Short technical notes.

Quick writeups on things I have hit in the wild—APIs, CSS layout, and shipping a portfolio that actually sends mail.

APIs · Reliability

Graceful degradation for GitHub-powered project grids

When the GitHub API is rate-limited or a token is missing, the UI should not go blank. I cache responses and fall back to a static projects.json so the page still tells a story.

CSS · Layout

When flex items refuse to shrink

A large intrinsic image width can force a flex row wider than the viewport. Setting min-width: 0 on the flex child and a fixed box with overflow: hidden plus object-fit: cover keeps avatars predictable.

Email · Backend

Nodemailer and Gmail without spoofing

Gmail expects the authenticated account in From. I send from my inbox address and put the visitor on Reply-To so messages land reliably and “Reply” still goes to them.
