about me.
I built my first computer at age eleven. In May 2023, I graduated cum laude (3.93 GPA) from the University of Maryland Honors College earning a B.S. in Computer Science and minor in Cybersecurity.
I am an eternal tinkerer, fascinated by the practical applications of generative AI. When I'm not coding, you'll find me running, reading, climbing, cooking, hiking, biking, listening to music, hanging out with friends or traveling. Often at the same time.
