About
I'm an AI/ML Software Engineer at CSC Global. I got my MS in Electrical Engineering from UC San Diego in 2025, focused on Machine Learning and Data Science, and my BS was in EE with a focus on Machine Learning and Controls.
I was president of the UCSD Cycling Team from 2023 to 2025, and I'm currently racing for Deus Velox, a San Diego based cycling team, traveling and competing at a national level.
