About Me

Hey there! Iā€™m a senior Computer Science student at UT Dallas, set to graduate in May 2025. Iā€™m currently working as a Software Engineer with Comet Solar Racing, building innovative software for our drivetrain systems in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. When Iā€™m not powering cutting-edge team projects, Iā€™m all about crafting clean, scalable code and tackling challenges across machine learning, full-stack development, or any new frontier that sparks my curiosity.
