I’m the kind of person who likes to take things apart, not to break them, but to understand how they work and how they could work better. I get drawn to problems without obvious answers and tend to stay with them longer than most people would consider reasonable. Curiosity, for me, isn’t casual, it’s immersive.
That mindset shows up everywhere. I build machine learning models, explore statistics research, and experiment with applying AI to messy, real-world data. I’ve analyzed financial markets through predictive modeling and used computer vision to break down tennis performance frame by frame. I love the intersection of theory and application, where math becomes something tangible and decisions become measurable.
About me
But I’m not only drawn to code. I solve Rubik’s cubes for the quiet logic of it, play chess for the long-game strategy, paint when I want to think without words, and build cardboard models just to see an idea take physical shape. And whenever I can, I head to the mountains to ski or snowboard, because sometimes the best thinking happens in motion.
Tennis has shaped me as much as any academic pursuit. Competing at a high level and captaining my varsity team has taught me to value consistency over flashes of talent. Improvement is rarely dramatic; it’s incremental, technical, and earned. That belief, that progress comes from small, disciplined adjustments influences how I approach research, leadership, and life.
I’m especially interested in data science, AI, and decision-making: how humans choose, how systems optimize, and where the two collide. I’m fascinated by the gap between what we think is rational and what data reveals. The questions at that intersection feel urgent and consequential.
Beyond competition and research, I care deeply about access and inclusion. I founded a nonprofit to make tennis more accessible for athletes with intellectual disabilities and serve as a Special Olympics coach. Working alongside these athletes has redefined how I think about leadership, not as directing others, but as creating environments where everyone has the chance to grow.
This site is a mix of work, play, and things in between: some projects I’ve built, ideas I’m exploring, questions I haven’t answered yet, and communities that inspire and shape me. It reflects the different parts of who I am: technical and creative, analytical and athletic, ambitious and still learning. The most interesting problems are still ahead, and I’m still discovering who I can become.
