I am a current undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas, pursuing a degree in Computer Science! I aim to develop innovative products to better the lives of many, through technology!

Around August 2015, I picked up my first Arduino-Uno and began my journey into both computer programming and computer engineering. I spent hours sitting on my bedroom floor plugging circuits and a USB cable into my old Dell laptop to run the Arduino code that brought my circuits to life, inspiring me to delve into the inner workings of Computers! I began learning HTML and CSS as my first programming language where I built a website much like this one and eventually transitioned into Java, with my first project being a calculator with a GUI! Throughout high school, I’ve made some more projects to continue this passion! All my projects can be found on my GitHub here!

At roughly the same time in 2015, I picked up my first Rubik’s Cube, which became my closest companion on long-road trips or conversation starters at school events and discovered competitive speed cubing in November 2017. Since then, I’ve attended 15 competitions and have completed about 297 official solves in a variety of events. My main events are in the Pyraminx and 2x2 events where I average 7.97 and 5.05 seconds, respectively. I am currently trying to get an average of five on both the 5x5 and Megaminx events, which are goals I am working towards! To see more of my official results, you can view my WCA profile profile here!

During my free time, I enjoy making videos using DaVinci resolve to do most of my editing, effects, and rendering! When I’m not developing or cubing, I enjoy playing basketball, going on walks around Zilker Park with my friends, and trying new restaurants!
