About Me

Welcome to my portfolio! I'm a second year computer science student at Northeastern University with a Concentration in Artificial Intelligence and Minor in Economics.

My interests lie in quantitative finance, data, and full-stack development.

When I'm not in the lab, you'll see me climbing mountains, playing volleyball, and scarfing down all-you-can-eat dumplings.
