ABOUT ME

I'm a Computer Science & Economics student at Yale University, building a foundation in data analysis, machine learning, and full-stack development through coursework and hands-on projects.

Here are some of the technical skills I've been working with:

Python

HTML/CSS

R

SQL

Javascript

Outside of school, I'm drawn to emerging technology, graphic design, and photo and video editing. I also create digital content and enjoy the creative side of building things as much as the technical.
