Austin, Texas
I’m a computer science student
at UT Austin.
Most of my work is in the GAMMA Lab, where I use machine learning for materials research, and with Longhorn Racing, where I work on vehicle simulations. Outside of that, I play tennis.
Internship / Quantum hardware
I spent summer 2026 building software for neutral-atom quantum computing experiments, from connecting lab instruments to calibrating optical waveforms and speeding up FPGA data acquisition.

Research / GAMMA Lab
My research involves training neural networks to predict scattering data. I work on the model, the data pipeline, and how we handle the narrow peaks in the signal.

Simulation work for UT Austin’s Formula SAE combustion team, from comparing lap times to processing damper data and engine logs.
Read the projectIndependent project / Machine learning
A project I started to explore short-term stock prediction. I tried several models, settled on boosted trees, and connected the pipeline to a paper-trading account.

I played first singles in high school, where our team won the county championship and made it to the state finals.
