About

I'm a Junior studying Computer Science and Mathematics at King's College (GPA 3.7), passionate about building things that work at scale. I enjoy the intersection of clean API design, backend systems, and problem-solving with data.

Beyond the keyboard, I compete on the Men's Tennis Team (ITA Scholar-Athlete, MAC Academic Honor Roll) and founded a Coding Club where I organize ICPC competition prep and hackathon teams.

Currently seeking a Software Engineering Internship for Summer 2026 to sharpen my backend, cloud, and system design fundamentals on real production systems.
