About Me
Computer Science graduate student passionate about building technology that makes a meaningful difference.
Background
I just finished my Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Florida, where I focused on artificial intelligence, software engineering, and distributed systems. My technical interests lie at the intersection of software and hardware, particularly in developing scalable AI systems that can be deployed in production environments as well as on-device private models. My expertise is in connecting disparate ideas from different fields. I want to apply technology to help somebody with something rather than trying to come up with technical solutions that look for problems to solve.

Beyond Code
When I'm not coding or researching, I enjoy reading about technology trends, books, and mentoring other students. I'm also passionate about the ethical implications of AI and believe in developing technology that serves humanity's best interests.
I enjoy photography, learning new languages, spending time in nature, cooking and occasionally trying my hand at music.
