Hi, I'm Nicholas.

Senior CS @ UCSD who ships clean, testable products. I build fast interfaces, solid backends, and sweat the tiny UX details that make apps feel "done".

About Me

Turning complex problems into elegant solutions

I'm a senior Computer Science student at UC San Diego with internship experience building fast, reliable web apps end-to-end. I believe great software is born at the intersection of solid engineering and thoughtful design.

I've shipped AI résumé tools (Flask + React + MongoDB), built Spring Boot REST APIs with solid validation and low latency, and launched production sites with WordPress / Elementor, JavaScript, and Cloudflare — cutting load times and errors while collaborating in small teams.

I work test-first, write clear docs, and care about clean, practical interfaces. I'm eager to learn, open to feedback, and excited to grow into an SWE / SDE role while exploring scalable backends, workflow automation, and data-aware UX for real users.
