curiosity.
I’m Rachel—a software engineering student building thoughtful, human-centered experiences across the web, cloud, cybersecurity, and AI.
01 About
HELLO, WORLD.
I turn complex ideas into experiences that feel clear.
I'm pursuing an accelerated B.S. Software Engineering / M.S. AI Engineering pathway at Western Governors University. I care about software that is useful, accessible, and quietly delightful.
My customer-service background taught me to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and stay composed under pressure. Those are engineering skills too—and I bring them to every project.

Hi, it’s Nami... Rachel’s alter ego... err, I mean nickname. Haha. Maybe just one of the many anime favorites she’s watched.
Fun fact: Killua is also what Rachel named her baby boy... err, her cat, who is absolutely her baby boy and turned one in May.
