i'm currently studying computer science & math at the university of maryland.

i’m especially interested in infrastructure, distributed systems, and applying AI and machine learning to make a positive impact. i’m also extremely passionate about teaching and helping others.

when i'm not coding, i'm probably baking a sweet treat, trying a new video game, or taking a walk in nature!
