I began my journey through Computer Science when I realized that it lies at the intersection of my identity.
I am a problem-solver with an appreciation for efficiency, improvement, harmony and aesthetics.
My socio-cultural experiences throughout life have shown me that empathy is paramount for evaluating the decisions that we make and how it has the ability to create everlasting impact.
I strive to be a forever-learner, devoted to gaining perspective of the world around me by understanding the intricacies of interconnected systems and letting my curiosities and passions lead the way.
B.S. Computer Science, College of Letters & Sciences, University of California, Davis. Graduated June 2023.

I founded Luy Photography in 2017 after recognizing a lack of representation in grad portrait photography. I saw a need for services that were both accessible and inclusive, while authentically capturing the beauty of diverse clients. With years of experience, I’ve built my brand around the ability to photograph and edit clients of all skin tones, ensuring everyone feels seen and celebrated in their images. Promoting diversity and inclusion remains at the heart of my mission.

Past Projects & Collaborations.
In this web article featuring UC Davis Graduation Photographers, I share my experiences as an SF Bay Area Photographer and UC Davis Computer Science alumna.
During my time at WiCS, I created an initiative to strengthen WiCS's brand identity and automate the social media design to marketing pipeline, by creating brand guides and resuable design components.
In a beauty collaboration between Kode with Klossy and Esteé Lauder, I participated in unboxing the "Lip Kloss Kit", where for each kit sold, Esteé Lauder donated 100% of the selling price to Kode with Klossy.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I hand cut and sewed 1000+ face masks. I donated over 30% of the masks to local healthcare and essential workers, and sold the remaining via social media.
Created and curated with 🩷 for my community.
Navigating the tech industry as a first-generation Software Developer has been both my biggest challenge and my greatest reward. Thanks to the generosity and unconditional support from my mentors, peers, and broader network, I've been able to grow in this field. I am committed to giving back and providing others with the same opportunities I received. Feel free to use these resources and share with others!
