01 — About Me
Code, Design,
and Deep Psychology
B.S. Computer Science · A.S. Psychology · QA Engineer · Building software that understands people.
I started college studying Psychology — not because it seemed practical, but because I genuinely love understanding how the brain works and why people do the things they do. I earned my Associate of Science, then followed a second pull into Computer Science. The two never felt like separate paths.
My passion for coding is real — I build in Python, Java, C++, and Kotlin, I design in Figma before I write a single line, and I care about every layer of what I make. But psychology isn't something I left behind. It's the lens I bring to every project.
I'm planning to go back for my Master's in Psychology — not to leave tech, but to go deeper into the human side of it. Cognition, behavior, mental health. I want to understand these things well enough to build tools that truly help people.
I currently work as a QA Engineer at TopNotch LTD — writing test plans, running regression and integration testing, and working directly with dev teams to root-cause defects. Before that I managed a team of 16 at Ziggi's Coffee, which is also where my capstone app was born.
Where I'm Headed
The Bigger Picture
Master's in Psychology
Going back for my M.S. — not to leave tech, but to understand people at a deeper level. Cognition, behavior, mental health. That knowledge makes everything I build better.
Games as Therapy
Video games are one of the most underused tools in mental health. The right game — designed with real psychological intent — can reduce anxiety, build resilience, and create genuine connection.
Mental Health Tech
There are apps for booking therapy. What I want to build goes further — tools grounded in real psychology that actively support mental wellbeing at every step.
The Mission That Started It All
Therapy Shouldn't Be a
Privilege
Growing up, school counselors weren't actual counselors — they scheduled classes and handled paperwork. I know I could have used someone to really talk to, and I never had that. A lot of kids don't. A lot of families can't afford to change that.
I want to build tools that change that equation — accessible mental health support for kids and lower-income families who deserve it just as much as anyone else. Real psychological grounding, not just an app that books appointments.
That's why the Master's matters. That's the thread that runs through everything here.
