CS @ Oregon State | Prev @ Netflix

Hi! I'm a senior computer science student with a focus on web/mobile development and AI.

I'm originally from Oregon and currently based in Corvallis, where I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Oregon State University. Since both of my parents went here, I had to continue the legacy!

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn. I love meeting new people!
