Austin, TX

I'm a Computer Science student at The University of Texas at Austin (class of 2027) with a minor in social and behavioral sciences. I'm especially interested in machine learning and computer vision.

Outside of the classroom, I spent four years on the Texas Men's Swim and Dive team, contributing to back-to-back national championships and four conference championships. I am projected to be the first four-year varsity athlete at UT to earn a B.S. in Computer Science. My athletic background shaped how I work: with discipline, consistency, and continuous improvement under pressure.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, spending time with friends, working out, and exploring new places.

Performance and process

I competed as an elite swimmer while balancing a rigorous course load at The University of Texas at Austin. More than anything, that experience taught me how to operate in high-performance environments built around accountability, repetition, and measurable results.

I bring that same mindset to engineering. I’m drawn to systems that need to perform reliably under pressure, where iteration, feedback, and disciplined execution matter more than flashy ideas. The process of improving software feels very familiar to improvement in sport: measure honestly, identify weaknesses quickly, and compound small gains over time.
