i'm an undergraduate student studying software engineering (graduating spring 2027) with a bit of an unconventional path. before diving into tech, i spent four and a half years as a yoga teacher in san francisco, leading workshops, hosting community events, and collaborating with organizations like lululemon, daybreaker, and the sf lgbt center. that chapter taught me a lot about building spaces where people feel supported.

honestly? i came to tech because it's versatile and lucrative. but the more i learned, the more i fell in love with how software and ai/ml can be woven into just about anything. now i get to explore how technology intersects with my other passions: the human body/health, physics, electricity, and how data-driven solutions can genuinely help people.

currently, i'm working in a research lab supporting electrophysiology experiments, behavioral studies, and training machine learning models. i'm drawn to biotech and mission-driven spaces where community, intention, and impact come first.

when i'm not coding or reading research papers, you'll find me doing pilates, cooking, or drinking way too much tea (i might be a tea connoisseur at this point). i'm also learning a classical form of indian dance and songs on my guitar.
