Applying quantitative and computational methods to create value and solve problems across multiple disciplines.

About Me

Hi! I am currently a student at the University of Pennsylvania studying in the Management and Technology dual-degree program, pursuing undergraduate degrees from Wharton and Engineering.


I'm interested in solving complex problems within social and financial systems. In high school, I competed in a national Constitutional Law competition, debating the origins of federalism, as well as created a pre-GPT chatbot designed to scaffold independent learning for K-12 students. Since then, I've had the opportunity to build within the healthtech, ERP, and crypto spaces, as well as further explore finance.


Outside of class, I enjoy binging Wikipedia, NIT-ing Penn Clubs PRs, and arguing with friends on anything from short-seller reports to overrated ramen shops (almost always from a position of ignorance).
