i'm a freshman at the university of illinois urbana-champaign majoring in computer science + linguistics and
minoring in math. i'm interested in ai,nlp, and systems software. specifically, i have done research in the past on
nlp alongside dr. elisa ferracane. i'm also an ardent linux user and i
currently daily
drive fedora arch linux on my framework laptop.
outside of academics, i was a policy debater in high school, and i am continuing this activity in college by
coaching a group of highly motivated high schoolers from small programs, similar to the one i was from. who
knows, perhaps i might come back in college to debate one day. (illinois debate shall return to the
2025-2026 NDT-CEDA circuit...stay tuned for future updates) i also enjoy playing many old Nintendo games and hope
to
enter the homebrew development scene for these consoles after i gain more knowledge in the field. i went to fox
chapel area high school previously, and graduated in 2024.
i'm working on a blog! it's not done yet, but i hope to detail my various journeys from the internals of this website (which is slightly more than raw text) to my dotfiles on my arch install and more!
