About Me

Hey! I'm a junior at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a BSE and MSE in Computer Science, with a minor in Mathematics. I'm an avid learner and problem-solver, and really enjoy working with others. I'm passionate about building systems to solve real-world problems at scale.

Outside of classes and clubs, you can find me watching sports (mainly tennis, basketball, and F1), running along the Schuylkill River, or eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.
