I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Virginia (Class of May 2026), passionate about the intersection of hardware and software. My core interests lie in embedded systems design, including firmware development, PCB layout, and hardware-software co-design. I'm driven by the challenge of creating efficient, robust, and intelligent systems.

I'm proud to be a QuestBridge National Scholar and have consistently achieved Dean's List honors (Spring 2023, Spring 2024, Fall 2024). My academic journey includes a major in Computer Engineering and a minor in Data Science, equipping me with a versatile skill set to tackle complex engineering problems.
