About Me

I’m a student at the University of Pennsylvania studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science. I focus on building backend infrastructure and applied ML systems—from production APIs and distributed services to models that run efficiently in real-world settings.

Alongside my undergraduate studies, I’m pursuing an accelerated MSE in Computer and Information Science at Penn, where I’ll deepen my work in systems and applied machine learning. I enjoy tackling complex, user-facing problems and turning them into clean, dependable interfaces.
