I graduated from UC Berkeley in May 2022 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Aerospace Engineering. During my undergraduate career, I was fortunate to conduct research at TAFLab with Dr. Reza Alam and HiPeRLab with Dr. Mark Mueller, as well as visiting research at the University of Oxford’s Computational Biology Group. I’ve also worked at Intel Corporation as an AI Intern and a Deep Learning Engineering Intern. For more information, take a look at my CV.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about impactful, ethical entrepreneurship and connecting people through strong and safe mobility networks.

In my free time, I like working on household DIY projects, cooking through Snoop Dogg’s cookbook, and finding deals on eBay.
