About Me

I'm a senior at Walton High School looking to puruse a career in computer science. In my free time, you might find me jamming to K-Pop or R&B in my car, awkwardly trying new hobbies to expand my breadth, researching ways to improve my skincare, or flexing calisthenics on a random pull-up bar.

My Journey

I've always been told what to do and how to do it and have only recently discovered realized independence. Technology has fascinated me from a young age, and now there are limitless applications of AI that I crave to learn and apply. In addition, I've pursued other passions along the way, such as the cello, calisthenics, and tennis.

What Drives Me

I believe technology should be accessible, purposeful, and transformative. I can spend countless hours coding, whether it's stubbornly debugging or productively adding on what I envision. I'm always striving to improve my skills and myself, infinitely curious about new things.

Looking Forward

As I continue my studies and work on new projects, I'm excited about opportunities to contribute to innovative teams and tackle complex technical challenges. I'm always eager to learn new technologies, make connections with others, and contribute to a more advanced future.
