About me.

I am pursuing my Master's in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, expecting to graduate in May 2026. I finished my Electrical & Computer Engineering degree at Rutgers University a year ahead of schedule in May 2025.

I am a natural problem solver. If one philosophy were to represent me, it would be the latin phrase "cogito facio", translating as "I think, I make." I love building things. Thank you for stopping by in my corner of the internet. I hope that one of my projects may be useful to you!
