PROFILE

ABOUT
ME.

"Systems-focused engineer who builds languages, not just programs."

I'm a CS honors student at Purdue University specializing in high-performance and scalable systems. My work spans compiler development, networking stacks, and performance optimization — the kind of low-level engineering that makes everything else possible.

Outside of programming, I like to draw, cook and game.
