About Me
Currently pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, I'm particularly drawn to the intersection between algorithmic thinking and practical application. I enjoy developing machine learning models, data processing pipelines, and scalable, backend software systems.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new recipies, learning a new chess opening, or expressing myself through the classical guitar. Music, math, and strategic games have taught me patience and the importance of proactive thinking skills, which translate cleanly into both programming and life.
