About

I work on backend systems, applied AI, and embedded hardware. At Fidelity, I build tooling and shared infrastructure for financial applications. At POWERPERCEPT, I develop a smart-insole platform spanning electronics, firmware, and mobile apps.

I studied computer science at UT Dallas from 2021 to 2024. I’ve also judged and mentored at HackUTD, WEHack, and Axxess Hackathon, and served as treasurer of Nebula Labs.
