CS & Math @ Pomona College ‘26 | Full-Stack Developer

I am a Computer Science and Math major at Pomona College graduating in May 2026. I am passionate about building intuitive, data-driven applications and exploring with new technologies. I've led and contributed to several full-stack projects.

These include a roommate matching platform using clustering algorithms, a GitHub visualization tool that graphs commit activity over time, a reference checker chrome extension on LinkedIn, and a basketball data website. Most recently, I've been working on PlotTrip, an interactive travel visualizer plotting on a globe trips by car, plane, train, etc. while calculating total distance and tracking countries visited.

Through these projects I have used Supabase, React, TypeScript, Python, and machine learning frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. I've worked with LSTMs, clustering models, sentiment analysis, and time-series forecasting, and I enjoy exploring the intersection of software engineering and AI/ML. I'm particularly interested in product-focused work where user experience and design come together to optimize software through ideation and iteration.
