Business + Engineering as one.

Applying Finance and Computer Science together to create value and solve problems.

About Me

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

From High School, I have been pursuing the intersection between social sciences, economics, and technologies to better understand and resolve problems. This has included multiple award-winning submissions to online hackathons, solving real-world problems using code, as well as an interest in Chatbots, using machine learning to prevent dementia, provide personal education, and improve sales leads.

At Penn, I aim to continue this passion in the world of Finance and beyond, partipating in extracurriculars and taking classes ranging from Accounting to Platform Capitalism to Text Analytics to Computer Architecture.
