I am a Computer Science student at Purdue University with a strong passion for building innovative software solutions and collaborating across disciplines. I develop autonomous navigation systems as part of Purdue’s Electric Vehicle Club, working with OpenCV and pathfinding algorithms to advance real-time decision-making on embedded systems. Previously, I conducted research at UCSF using AlphaFold to accelerate protein modeling workflows with Python automation. I also bring leadership experience as a Head Teaching Assistant at UC Berkeley, where I helped improve curriculum and student engagement in a web design course. I'm driven to explore the intersection of software, data, and real-world impact.
