Building & shipping everyday

I'm a fourth-year student at Northeastern University studying Computer Science.

  • I'm currently at Amazon as a swe intern
  • This past Summer I built web agents with my friends in San Francisco, CA (Opero Labs)
  • Previously I worked at Philips as a swe co-op, where I worked on a hospital monitoring system
  • I also helped develop a research ed-tech tool called Gruepr, used by over 80 institutions, alongside Professor Joshua Hertz at Northeastern
  • More recently I built Sherpa, a tool that helps developers understand codebases on GitHub

Outside of coding, I enjoy playing basketball, strength training, walks, and reading. Lately I've been especially curious about optimizing learning.

My team built physiological features for a hospital monitoring system used by thousands of hospitals throughout the world. My favorite part was diagnosing and solving bugs from reports made at hospitals in places like Sweden or Japan. Super cool to know you're helping patients at a global scale.
