Years ago, I came across a powerful quote by the beloved and revolutionary Oceanian scholar, 'Epeli Hau'ofa, that has since guided me in times of uncertainty. “We should not forget that human reality is human creation. If we fail to create our own, someone else will do it of us." As a software engineer, I aim to provide access to and distribution of digital solutions for those who simply want to improve their realities. I build my skillsets to empower communities like mine to better navigate the modern world.
