Hello! My name is

I'm a Computer Science and Data Science student at UW-Madison, graduating in May 2028. I'm interested in building data-driven systems related to machine learning, computer vision, and applied research. I enjoy turning real-world data into useful, visual, and meaningful tools.

About Me

A little bit more about me.

I realized pretty early on that college isn't just about classes and grades for me, but it's also a lifestyle and what you make of it. Outside of class, I'm involved in research and a few student orgs on campus, and I also love to build projects for fun. I love keeping myself busy, and I'm a firm believer that there are always things to learn, people to meet, places to explore, etc.
