Turning ideas into impactful products

I'm a Computer Science major and Business Analytics minor at DePauw University, with a passion for building products that make technology more accessible and impactful.

I'm fascinated by the intersection of AI, data, and human-centered design. Whether I'm developing machine learning models, conducting user research, or prototyping new features, I focus on creating solutions that are both technically sound and meaningfully improve people's lives.
