01 — About

A brief dive.

I'm a Computer Science student at Carnegie Mellon University (SCS, Class of 2029), originally from San Diego. I'm deeply passionate about using AI and machine learning to solve real-world problems — particularly in healthcare and accessibility.

I've published research on autism detection via neural networks at AMIA 2024 and co-authored a paper at ACM CHI 2024 on robotics and autism inclusion. I've worked across labs at UCSD, University of Hawaii, and Ohio State University.

At CMU, I lead development in ScottyLabs and continue pushing forward on AI-driven research tools. When I'm not coding, you'll find me at math competitions or exploring computational biology.
