About Me

Who I Am

I'm an aspiring software engineer and current student at the University of Washington, studying Applied & Computational Mathematical Sciences. I'm passionate about leveraging quantitative skills to solve real-world problems.

My interest in software development sparked during my time at Tri Counties Bank, where I automated tedious tasks using Python. Since then, I've been exploring various areas of computer science, including machine learning, algorithmic trading, and full-stack development.

Outside of academics and professional pursuits, I enjoy playing poker, watching basketball, and exploring new technologies.
