I'm a curious builder, and a data-driven researcher pursuing my B.S. in Computer Science with a Mathematics minor at the University of Kansas. I’m passionate about solving problems at the intersection of software engineering, AI, and scientific discovery.
I'm currently interning @ Gemini Exchange in NYC. Feel free to hmu on LinkedIn (vide infra) if you're in NYC!
Outside of computer science, I love exploring new math concepts, playing badminton and travelling!!
I also dabble in Model United Nations sometimes!
Fun fact: I have been to 10+ countries and can speak 4 languages!
I believe that code is only as useful as the problems it solves and I'm constantly looking to tackle the next big thing!

I'm currently working on DAIM, which stands for decentralized AI marketplace. DAIM aims to be exactly as advertised, a Decentralized AI marketplace where you are the owner of your innovation. View the project here. Its my attempt at making AI more transparent for everyone.
Currently trying to master deep learning and the math behind other adjacent Machine learning models!
