About
I'm an undergrad at Columbia pursuing a B.A. in Computer Science. Previously, I interned at SpaceX, Stoke Space (recently raised $510M Series D), and Shared Studios ($3M seed round).
I started programming at 16 as a self-taught developer, building games that accumulated over 7 million visits. I later attended Fullstack Academy, a software engineering bootcamp, before enrolling in Columbia University.
I value pragmatism. I care about building things that work and shipping them. My path from self-taught game developer to aerospace internships wasn't traditional, but it taught me to focus on results and learn whatever is necessary to get there.
Right now, I'm focused on going deeper into systems programming—operating systems, C++, and understanding how software works closer to the hardware. I like knowing what's actually happening under the hood.
