Interests

Outside of my day-to-day work as a software development engineer working with the Windows SDK and C++, I have developed a strong interest in AI and machine learning. I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from UT Austin, where I focused my studies on AI and machine learning. I enjoy learning how intelligent systems work and look forward to applying that knowledge to build practical and impactful solutions in the future.

When I'm away from the computer, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, especially through road trips and discovering new places. While a full-time job doesn't always leave much room for travel, I make it a priority to take one or two trips each year—whether that's exploring somewhere completely new or simply getting out and experiencing something different.

Let's build something interesting.
