I am a software engineer, tinkerer, and curious about the world.
I'm interested in FOSS operating systems, transportation infrastructure, digital audio, electronic music, self-data-collection, memory-keeping, and professional StarCraft.
I graduated from Yale University in 2024 with a BS in Computer Science and am currently based in Boston.
My favorite bird is the shoebill stork.
