CS + CG @ UPenn


Undergrad studying Computer Science, Graphics Engineering, and Design through UPenn’s Digital Media Design (BSE) programme sticker


I’m drawn to projects that help people think clearly, notice more, or create freely. I'm learning how technology can support that by offering the right structure at the right time.


From full-stack development to databases, I enjoy learning new tools on the job. At the core, I care about code that is intuitive and thoughtfully crafted inside-out.
