Hello! I am a rising fourth-year student at the University of Chicago, majoring in Computer Science, Mathematics and Data Science. My coding journey began out of personal passion and interest, as I self-taught myself before receiving formal education in CS at university. My areas of interest include Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, Operating Systems, and Networks. I also enjoy working on projects involving electronic components. You can explore all my projects, both active and archived, on this website!

About This Website
This personal portfolio website stands as a testament to the power and efficiency of the Astro framework, meticulously crafted to deliver a fast and performant static experience. Beyond the realm of this site, my development journey has extensively leveraged React, allowing me to build highly interactive and dynamic web applications that prioritize user engagement. My experience truly spans the entire stack, having immersed myself in the development of several full-stack applications. This exposure not only broadened my understanding of web architecture but also introduced me to TypeScript, which has quickly become my language of choice for robust and scalable backend development due to its strong typing and excellent tooling.
My foundational knowledge extends further into the versatile languages of C++ and Python. C++ has been instrumental in exploring low-level systems programming, competitive programming challenges, and performance-critical applications, honing my understanding of memory management and algorithmic efficiency. Python, on the other hand, has proven invaluable for its agility in data analysis, scripting, machine learning, and rapid prototyping. This diverse linguistic toolkit, encompassing frontend frameworks, backend languages, and foundational programming paradigms, allows me to approach a wide array of Computer Science and Software Engineering challenges with a comprehensive and adaptable skill set.
