About Me

Hi! I'm a second year undergraduate student at UCSD majoring in Computer Science. I'm extremely passionate about learning and applying cutting-edge technologies towards real-world issues; I am particularly interested in working with artificial intelligence and data, as well as the surrounding infrastructure. I hope to become a productive engineer in roles where I can grow and learn from experienced team members and draw project experience.
