i'm an undergraduate student studying software engineering (graduating spring 2027) with a bit of an unconventional path. before diving into tech, i spent four and a half years as a yoga teacher in san francisco, leading workshops, hosting community events, and collaborating with organizations like lululemon, daybreaker, and the sf lgbt center. that chapter taught me a lot about building spaces where people feel supported.

honestly? i came to tech because it's versatile and lucrative. but the more i learned, the more i fell in love with how software and ai/ml can be woven into just about anything. now i get to explore how technology intersects with my other passions: the human body/health, physics, electricity, and how data-driven solutions can genuinely help people.

currently, i'm working in a research lab supporting electrophysiology experiments, behavioral studies, and training machine learning models. i'm drawn to biotech and mission-driven spaces where community, intention, and impact come first.

when i'm not in the lab or working on a project, you'll find me doing pilates, cooking, or drinking way too much tea (i might be a tea connoisseur at this point). i'm also learning a classical form of indian dance and songs on my guitar.
