About
I'm pursuing a Master's in Quantitative & Computational Finance and a Master's in Computational Science & Engineering at Georgia Tech, with a strong interest in machine learning and AI. I previously earned a B.S. in Information Systems (Dec 2024), also at Georgia Tech, with coursework spanning financial mathematics, machine learning, and deep learning. I love turning ideas into working models — and shipping fun personal projects outside of class.
Recently
