I'm currently a student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a BSE and MSE in Computer Science with a concentration in AI. My interests span distributed systems, machine learning, optimization, web/mobile development, and more. I am also a D1 athlete on the varsity squash team. In my free time, I like to do photography.
