About Me

Purdue '26 — Computer EngineeringAI Acceleration Fellow @ Eli LillyFull-Stack · AI · Cloud

I follow my curiosity. I started college wanting to be an electrical engineer, but once I got into software, I knew that was where I wanted to be. I switched to computer engineering and haven't looked back.

That same instinct shapes how I work now. I gravitate toward problems that feel interesting; full-stack development, AI systems, cloud infrastructure. Not because they're trendy, but because they're where I find the most engaging challenges. When something clicks, I go deeper. When it doesn't, I find what does.

I think the best work comes from genuine interest. Forcing yourself through topics you don't care about leads to mediocre results. Following what pulls your attention leads to better code, better ideas, and work you actually want to finish.

Beyond Code

Outside of software, I shoot photography, build custom PCs, and play guitar and bass. I also built a photography portfolio alongside this site. These hobbies keep me balanced and give me different ways to create and problem-solve.

Music drives my creativity and focus during development. Here's what I've been listening to.
