Most tools that feel bad feel bad because the model underneath is wrong. I would rather spend a week on the schema than a month on the symptoms.
I am CJ — a Computer Science student at NYU who specializes in building extremely efficient, high-throughput systems that are just as visually compelling as they are architecturally sound. I just completed an Artificial Intelligence, Data & Machine Learning Engineering internship at NIKE in Beaverton, OR, and I'm back in New York for the NYU semester. The route that got me there is below.

Photography taught me that what you leave out decides what the viewer sees. The same holds for an interface and for a dashboard.
Pace Academy · Student
Through 2023
Where it started. First computer science coursework, including AP Computer Science Principles, at Pace Academy in Atlanta, run alongside two varsity sports and a full course load. The habits from that period — prioritizing across competing commitments, managing time rigorously, executing under pressure — carried forward into everything after. Atlanta is still home base.
