About

I find patterns in chaos. Whether it's predicting protein structures, building arbitrage systems that process millions of requests daily, or engineering kernels resistant to zero-day attacks - I'm drawn to problems where the signal is buried deep in the noise.

Currently pursuing a combined M.S./B.S. in Computer Science and B.A. in Economics at Yale, where I research quantum gate teleportation at the Yale Quantum Institute and previously developed ML pipelines for molecular structure prediction at Gerstein Lab.
