about

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Central Florida based in Orlando, focused on learning more about robotics with growing interest in Rust and systems work. I've worked across a couple internships, startups, and student organizations, and I'm currently in the BNY co-op program while serving as Vice President of Knight Hacks. I like building software that helps people :).
