About

I am a computer science student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute driven by a fascination with complex systems and elegant mathematics. Whether I am architecting fault-tolerant backend, implementing precise control loops for robots, or proving the safety of systems, I build software that is robust, performant, and reliable.


My work combines precise technical constraints with adaptive project leadership. From managing teams under tight timelines to optimizing low-level networks, I enjoy solving hard engineering problems in all layers of computing.
