In tenth grade, my mother gave me the ANSI C by Kernighan, that rarely left my side for two years. It changed how I understood the world, sparked my passion for programming, and left me with an intuitive understanding of how computers process information.

In college, the Google Developer Student Clubs gave that curiosity a community. Projects and hackathons taught me collaboration, while freelance work taught me to connect creativity with clients’ needs. My Agora internship sharpened my troubleshooting skills and showed me the importance of clear technical communication.

At PepsiCo GBS, I learned how enterprise systems operate and what makes software dependable. Growing from SAP Basis operations into automation and full-stack development taught me to take ownership of software throughout its lifecycle, with reliability, testing, and users’ needs in mind.
