About
Howdy! I'm currently studying Computer Science and Business Administration at USC✌️ in sunny California. My passion for programming began with game development in Unity and has since evolved into a love for building web and mobile applications. In my spare time, I love spending my time at the thrift, staring at JDM cars, and daydreaming of vintage tech.

Check out my latest work
I've built a variety of projects exploring various technologies, from mobile apps to web applications. Here are some of my favorites.
Sage
Led the development of Sage, an innovative legal workbench with advanced document retrieval, case management, and an AI-driven assistant. Improved workflow efficiency by 40% and reduced manual workload by 35% using machine learning and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
Azalea
Azalea helps users choose eco-friendly AI models by rating their energy use and complexity. It provides a sustainability score and impact metrics, such as plastic bag equivalents.Azalea also tracks and compares the environmental impact over time.
PARCR
Led the development of a music analysis project implementing the Perceiver neural network framework to generate and auto-complete chord progressions. Processed a dataset of over 100,000 MIDI chord progressions and trained the Perceiver AR model on this dataset.
