Overview

My favorite undergraduate courses included general physics, product management, and computer security. I have served as a teaching assistant at the UCSD CSE department for over 2 years and previously worked at Zoom Video Communications and NASA Ames Research Center as a software development engineer. My passion has always been in education and technology management, along with befriending those in need of mentoring and support. Here at Johns Hopkins University, my specialization lies in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, with an extracurricular goal of conducting research at the Applied Physics Lab. A bit about myself: I grew up in California (Bay Area/Mammoth Lakes/La Jolla) and have a love for skating and discussing sci-fi. I am eager to offer tutoring for fundamental courses, engage in leetcoding sessions, or simply have a chat over coffee.
