Hi! I'm a Software Engineer in New York City. I love building things that solve real problems and I'm endlessly curious about how things work.

About
Welcome to my personal corner of the web!
My journey into tech started when my dad brought home our first family computer and 8-year-old me immediately downloaded a virus on it. Despite the countless hours spent trying to fix it before my brown parents found out, the "aha" moment was so precious I almost downloaded another one just so I could figure out how to remove it again.
That love for problem solving and curiosity never really went away. I'm now a Software Engineer II at JP Morgan Chase in NYC, where I help build tools for portfolio managers, and in Fall 2026 I'll be pursuing a part-time MS in Computer Science at Columbia University.
Here are some new technologies I've been exploring:
