About Me

I’m a current grad student at UCSC, training both machine learning models and myself in the art of NLP. With a Computer Science degree in AI & ML, I navigate the world of software and data—turning structured code into intelligent conversation.

I'm a passionate about creating innovative solutions to complex problems. I strive to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code. I'm always eager to learn new technologies and stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends. When I'm not dabbling with code, I like exploring new places, meeting people and connecting with nature.
