Founder/Developer of GitFitCode

Early foster care experiences led me to embrace software development, driven by a desire to break stereotypes and serve as a role model. This passion for social justice tech emerged during my advocacy efforts at 16, campaigning for California AB12.

While studying mathematics at UCLA and immersing myself in fraternity life, community service remained a priority. From consulting for DCFS to leading software teams, I ensure inclusive solutions, mentoring foster youth in tech. As MindRight's CTO, I developed mental health platforms, reducing emergency mental health visits and securing significant investments for marginalized populations.
