Hello! My name is

I'm a Computer Science and Data Science student at UW-Madison interested in building data-driven systems related to machine learning, computer vision, and applied research. I enjoy turning real-world data into tools that are useful, visual, and meaningful. My expected graduation is in May 2028!
