The person behind the resume.

I've been building things since I was a kid. The only real difference now is that the things compile. Most of what I've made started the same way: I noticed something that bugged me, and building the fix turned out to be more interesting than complaining about it.

Almost everything I've built started as something I noticed and couldn't leave alone.

At Georgia Tech I study computer science with a math minor, graduating in 2028. My work splits about three ways: software engineering, machine learning research, and quant finance. I like that they keep running into each other. So far that's meant founding-team engineering at a sports-odds startup, a software internship building natural-language data tooling, and research steering truth directions inside language models. Next, I'm joining Georgia Tech's $2.7M student-managed fund as a quant and the EPIC lab as a prosthesis researcher.

Away from a screen, most of it comes back to food. I started cooking with whole ingredients, which made me want to grow a few of them, which turned into an actual garden. The garden got me into beekeeping. The bees got me standing at a farmers' market explaining to strangers why pollinators are worth caring about. I didn't see that chain coming when it started.

I'm drawn to games that keep score but hide a lot of judgment underneath. I debated competitively and got as high as #19 in the country. I play poker, and once made the top 30 in my quant club's tournament. I'm parked around 1300 in chess and unreasonably stubborn about moving up. There's also basketball, too much fantasy football, and piano for when I want to think about nothing.

I split my time between the Bay Area and Atlanta, and I'm always up for comparing notes on any of the above.
