About Me

Hello! I'm a passionate developer currently pursuing my studies in computing and data sciences, at Boston University. If you are in the area dont be shy to reach out, I enjoy meeting new people. I enjoy bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and clean, production-ready code. I strongly belive that learning never stops.

My experience ranges from writing optimized algorithms and structural systems tools to exploring complex datasets and statistical modeling. Beyond development, I enjoy taking on student leadership opportunities and engaging with peer mentoring communities.

When I'm not behind a screen analyzing data or optimizing code, depending on the season, you can usually find me outdoors hiking, snowboarding, or playing video games like Valorant or Minecraft.

Projects

Data Analysis Via Global Career Accelerator

Drove a SQL-based sustainability analysis for Intel by joining device and impact data, engineering age cohorts, and segmenting by type and region to quantify energy and CO₂ savings, ultimately delivering insights that guided repurposing initiatives.

SQL

Algorithmic Optimization Agent

Engineered an intelligent, competitive engine featuring optimized search efficiency, transposition tables, and custom pruning logic.

Rust / Algorithms

Mindsweeper (Recursion)

Implemented a recursive algorithm to efficiently clear large mine-free grid regions.Reduced redundant checks by implementing recursive flood-fill logic, improving performance on boards up to 10x faster than naive approaches

Python / SQL
