About Me

I'm a CS student at UT Austin who got serious about software at 13 and never really stopped. I started with small Python scripts and worked my way up to full-stack SaaS apps and ML research at Harvard Medical School's Foot and Ankle Lab — all before graduating high school.

I like working on hard problems that matter — whether that's reducing surgeon review time with deep learning or shipping a voice-based learning platform that people actually pay for. I care about the details: clean code, thoughtful UX, and products that work reliably at scale.
