About Me

Hey there! 👋 I'm a computer science graduate from the UC Santa Cruz Baskin School of Engineering.

My expertise and academic focus lies in artificial intelligence. I'm actively engaged in research 🔬 at the UCSC Computer Vision Lab 👀, and I earned the Dean's Award for Undergraduate Research focusing on indoor navigation solutions such as wall extraction and floorplan vectorization with the application of convolutional neural networks and image processing. I was also a tutor for Machine Learning and Applied Discrete Mathematics.

My previous professional experience includes a role as a full-stack developer at Internet Activism, where I developed web applications for humanitarian initiatives ⛑️. Before that, I contributed as a software engineer 👨‍💻 at BitTorrent, working on the uTorrent client.

I'm open to new challenges and opportunities in software engineering and research 🧐. You can find my contact details below! Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have questions, share similar interests, or are aware of any opportunities that align with my skills.
