About me.

A look at who I am, where I'm focused, and what drives me.

[ photo ]

I'm a high school junior at Wayzata High School and an aspiring AI/ML engineer. My obsession lies at the intersection of mathematical theory and applied intelligence. I don't just import libraries; I build, break, and optimize models to understand their core mechanics.

Beyond independent research, I compete nationally in the Business Professionals of America (BPA) in financial analysis and Linux OS administration, lead local computer science initiatives, and work as a swim instructor and lifeguard at Life Time Inc.

Whether training a convolutional neural network to parse complex visual data or volunteering over 200 hours at the Hindu Society of Minnesota, I approach everything with a relentless focus on iteration and performance.

I'm always building something new.
