Hey! I'm a Computer Science and Math student at ASU working across Machine Learning, GPU computing, and Embedded Systems.
I'm currently a researcher at the Make Programming Simple Lab, where I'm developing compiler passes and fused kernels to accelerate ML and HPC workloads. At Sun Devil Motorsports, our Formula SAE team, I work on firmware and embedded ML systems.
I also like building cool apps, experimenting with local models, and playing my guitar!
