About Me

Get to know me better - my background, skills, and what drives my passion for creative development.

Professional Journey

My journey into software development began with a simple goal: using Python to solve economic problems. What started as a practical tool has evolved into a passionate pursuit of creating innovative solutions.

With three years of experience under my belt, I've developed expertise in full-stack development and cloud architecture. My recent foray into AI and LLMs during a startup internship has opened new horizons, while my interest in Web3 continues to grow.

My professional experience includes two full-stack and DevOps internships, one in AI engineering, and two research positions. Currently, I'm channeling my passion into indie software development and exploring the intersection of fintech with my background in finance and economics.

Academic Foundation

As a senior at DePauw University, I'm pursuing a unique combination of Computer Science and Actuarial Science (Economics + Mathematics). This interdisciplinary approach has equipped me with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and the mathematical principles underlying AI.

Beyond Code

When I'm not immersed in code, I find joy in traveling, playing soccer, and watching movies. However, my true passion lies in the art of cooking.

Picture this: a beautifully designed kitchen, classical music playing softly in the background, and the aroma of freshly baked goods filling the air. I take pride in creating fine dining experiences and crafting world-class pastries that bring people together.
