About
"A complete nerd who loves all things technology and a child at heart."
I'm Ria — a Junior in Computer Engineering at Purdue with minors in Psychology, Entrepreneurship, and AI. My background is a strange but useful mix: cell-phone repair, 3D modeling, web and mobile app development, and professional video editing.
That hands-on history made me meticulous about details and stubborn about troubleshooting. I care about user-friendly design, innovative 3D modeling, and content that respects the person on the other side of the screen.
Outside class I tinker — circuits, enclosures, small web builds for family and friends. I'm at my best when I get to design something end-to-end: from the schematic to the splash screen.
