About

I'm a computer science and math student at Purdue, graduating in May 2028. Right now I'm an AI engineering intern at Twine Security, working on the tools their marketing and sales teams run on. Before that I interned at EvolveIQ and AgentSheets.

At school I lead the computer vision work on Purdue's autonomous kart, which won the Autonomous Karting Series National Grand Prix in May. I also lead a six-person consulting team through Purdue Solutions and the software team at Purdue MIND. In August I launched GoldTix, a ticket marketplace for Purdue students that doesn't charge fees.

Away from a screen I play tennis, pickleball, basketball, soccer, flag football and chess, and I read a lot. I write songs on guitar and compose on piano, which is why there's a keyboard below.
