About Me

I'm a Junior studying CS at Tufts University, and just wrapped up an internship at Financial Recovery Technologies in Medford, where I got the chance to work on data extraction pipelines and internal tooling.

I love projects or problem spaces that really allow me to go deep — getting the chance to build a real understanding of the how and why behind the way things work. My interests lean towards systems programming, networking, and recently embedded — though I'm always happy to learn more about any area I encounter.

I bring a creative perspective to technical work through my background in audio engineering, including my current part time position running live sound for music events at Tufts. Outside of tech, you'll find me playing guitar, woodworking, producing music, hiking, or snowboarding!
