I’m a graduate student at Stanford University doing my masters in Computer Science. I focus mostly on computer systems nowadays, and I previously did my undergrad focusing on computer graphics. My experience ranges from raytracers to websites, but I mostly like working at the OS level and working with hardware. I’ve worked at Stanford, Facebook/Instagram, and Aqua Satellite.
Outside of school/work, I’m also interested in analog and digital photography, playing the piano, and learning languages.
I’m currently pursuing a masters degree at Stanford University, focusing on computer systems within the Department of Computer Science. I also did my undergrad at Stanford (2017–2021), focusing on computer graphics. Before that, I went to Menlo School for high school.
