I'm a graduate student at Columbia University studying Computer Engineering. I graduated summa cum laude from Colorado College with a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and am originally from Southern California.


Some topics I enjoy studying are operating systems, formal verification, computer architecture, and cloud computing. I am particularly passionate about developing a strong breadth of knowledge across the entire technology stack, from digital circuits to high-level software, as a means to bridge the communication gap between founders, management, and software/hardware engineers. Some projects I've worked on include:

  • AES audio encryption hardware accelerator on an FPGA
  • Load-balancer for Stryker's distributed hospital messaging platform
  • Automated test-case failure analysis system for QA teams at Visa
  • Custom process scheduler in the Linux kernel
  • Refrigerator management iOS app to reduce food waste

I enjoy building products from scratch and excel with communication and leadership within team environments. Always happy to connect and chat, feel free to reach out!

🥁 I am also equally passionate about music performance/production and have been playing the drums for many years. Here's a recent performance with Columbia's jazz ensemble:
