Here's some of my past work

I build systems that help people grow, and I try to raise the ceiling for what students can do.

At Purdue, I teach CS390 as the sole instructor of record, designing a full-stack curriculum from the ground up and guiding students through building production-grade apps.

I lead Hack the Future, a club that builds software for non-profits across the world, where we doubled our applicant pool and shipped more real-world software than any year before. I turned Hello World, the smallest hackathon at Purdue into the biggest hackathon in Purdue history, bringing hundreds of students together around building, learning, and ambition.

I'm a founding engineer at Crater, helping shape the product and engineering foundation of the company.

I've won top prizes at Berkeley, UW and Purdue hackathons, and I'm presenting this year at NeurIPS, the largest AI conference in the world.

Across everything I do, the goal is the same: build things that matter, create environments where people can grow fast, and push the limits of what's possible as a student engineer.
