I build intelligent software, physical systems, and useful tools.

I’m an incoming computer science freshman at the University of Maryland who likes projects where software has to meet the real world. My work ranges from fine-tuning language models and building tool-using agents to autonomous robots, computer vision systems, and infrastructure running on tiny hardware.

A few things I’ve built

  • Fine-tuned Llama 3.1 with Python, TensorFlow, CUDA, and Google Cloud
  • Designed and programmed an autonomous blimp using OpenCV and Raspberry Pi
  • Built a self-hosted LLM assistant connected to Spotify and Notion
  • Led programming for a rover that navigated a simulated exoplanet
  • Developed a full-stack nonprofit platform with Next.js, MongoDB, and Stripe
  • Presented XR education work at the Johns Hopkins University XR Symposium

Tools I reach for

Languages       Python · TypeScript · Java · R
Interfaces      React · React Native · Next.js · Tailwind CSS
Systems         Linux · Docker · Raspberry Pi · n8n
Data & AI       TensorFlow · Llama · Ollama · OpenCV · MongoDB
Fabrication     CAD · 3D printing · rapid prototyping
