About

Undergraduate student at the University of Vermont studying Computer Science. I consider myself a generalist who wants to dip their toes in every field of computer science, but I have a particular interest in AI/ML, Embedded Engineering, and Mathematics.

In my free time I like Sailing in the Bay Area, working on personal projects, and documenting my life through Obsidian notes.
