I am passionate about becoming a software engineer/research scientist and using technology to create positive change. I care a lot about making tech more inclusive, accessible, and responsible.

I co-founded Wander in Tech, a youth-led initiative that mentors students in STEM and has reached over 500 young people across Cambodia. Through this work, I’ve seen how powerful technology can be when more people have access to it.

I’m especially interested in AI ethics, machine learning, HCI, and how technology can support global development and create opportunities for underrepresented communities.

Currently:

• Strengthening my foundations in software engineering, OOP, and algorithmic thinking
• Designing an Agentic AI to help small businesses and nonprofits
• Building Cyclology, a website to help cycloists in Phnom Penh by connecting them to clients
• Leading ACM events around computing, careers, and community

I started in tech by creating websites to amplify unheard voices and now mentor others to do the same. You’ll catch me building things with a matcha in hand, journaling in 6 languages, or organizing workshops about AI, ethics, and equity.
