Building by week, exploring by weekend 🏔️

About Me

I'm a Computer Science student at UC Irvine with a passion for building AI systems that make a real impact. From designing GenAI solutions at AWS to co-founding an investment and trading group, I love turning complex ideas into working products.

When I'm not deep in code, you'll find me surfing in Newport Beach, snowboarding in the mountains, or exploring new places around the world. I believe the best engineers bring creativity from all aspects of life into their work.

Currently focused on agentic AI systems, applying LLMs to cutting-edge problems, and finding new ways for technology to address environmental challenges.
