CS+Math at NYU | Dev Team @ Tech@NYU | Prev Software & Data @ Visa, Interos, Point72, Duke, AYR, NJIT

I'm a junior studying CS and Math at NYU. I'm mainly a software engineer, though I have done some data science / MLE work. I enjoy interesting math problems (think: logic puzzles, interesting proofs, etc), which is what my Math page is about.

I'm on Tech@NYU's Dev Team, NYU's premier & most competitive software organization. I'm a member of Business Analytics Club, BUGS (Open Source Club), and I volunteer with Give Where You Live!

I've attended Point72 Investment Academy. I became a DTech (Women in Tech) Scholar this summer, and attended many events in SF, like YC Summer Conference 2025. I'm also hoping to add blog posts; at least one would be about Garry Tan's "Prompt or Be Prompted" speech.

I'm a National Merit Scholarship Awardee. Pre-transfer I was involved with Duke Quant and DUU Art Union (Events Committee).

I'm driven by a love of exploration, learning, and creation. Software, music, art. People become real by creating real things, externalizing intention into the emptiness. It's what makes life meaningful to me.
