About Me

I am a Computer Science and Statistics student at UNC Chapel Hill. My first introduction to building was in high school when I took AP Computer Science A, and to say the very least, I did not enjoy it. It was not until college that I realized the kind of impact I could make with computer science. If I saw a problem, more often than not, there was a solution waiting to be built, and CS became an integral part of that process. Since then, I have contributed to research in machine intelligence and computational physics, and hope to build tools that people actually find value in.
