About

CS sophomore at UC San Diego — B.S. Computer Science, Minor in Cognitive Science. Graduated high school Summa Cum Laude with a 4.67 GPA. I don't just study technology — I build it, patent it, publish it, and ship it. From an AI patent and a published book to a first-place hackathon win and developing XR experiences, I turn ideas into real outcomes. I lead teams, run research, and write code — driven by one goal: solve problems that matter.
