about
I'm a junior studying Computer Science at UCLA. Currently, I work at Lindy as a Software Engineer Intern, where I build core infrastructure and services for email and meeting agents. I also conduct research in UCLA's HCI Research Lab, where I work on multi-agent systems for scientific hypothesis generation. I care deeply about building responsive, accessible interfaces that make complex systems feel clear, useful, and intuitive.
Outside of building, I enjoy weightlifting, time with my dog, and exploring the Lands Between.
