👨‍🎓 Education

Cornell University - College of Engineering

B.S. Computer Science

| Minor: Mathematics (A&S), Psychology (A&S)

2021 - 2026

The CS + Math + Psychology combination isn't an accident. I came into college knowing I wanted to build systems, but the psych and cog sci courses changed what I thought systems were

for

. By my junior year I was taking Advanced ML Systems alongside Adult Psychopathology and Cognitive Development - which sounds strange until you realize those courses are all asking the same underlying question: how do complex systems process information under constraints?
