About Me

I am a recent graduate of University College London (UCL) with a Master's of Science in Software Systems Engineering. This summer, I interned as a Software Engineer at Cisco London, building an open-source cross-platform video player and inspection tool.

Previously, I worked as a Software Engineer at Creative Juice, a Series A, Forbes 50 Fintech startup.

Education and Research

I graduated from the University of Utah in 2022 with a Bachelor's in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. I worked with Dr. Chris Myers at the Genetic Logic Lab from 2019-2022. My focuses included large scale genetic data repositories and search methods for genetic sequences, utilizing tools such as Elasticsearch and RDF / document databases.

Hobbies

You can probably find me somewhere outdoors, whether I'm backpacking, rock climbing, fishing, mountain biking, or skiing. I'm also a huge sports fan, watching everything from soccer (COYS) to sumo wresting, or basketball to bowling.
