About me

I'm a Computer Science student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, minoring in Mathematics and concentrating in Artificial Intelligence and Information Internetworks. I grew up in Akron, Ohio, and transferred to Georgia Tech after a year studying Computer Engineering at Purdue.

My internships have been a tour of the stack: AI automation pipelines at Geotab, platform modernization and CVE remediation at AT&T, IoT lab automation, and a reproducible PyTorch research pipeline. I'm comfortable moving between Python services, TypeScript front ends, and the CI/CD plumbing that ties them together.

Outside the editor I climb, but I'm just as into fashion, food, and film: vintage pieces, a good meal, and a movie worth arguing about. I travel whenever I can, and I'm finally trying to read more, so book recommendations are always welcome.

Seeking Summer 2027 SWE internships.
