About Me

Hi! I’m a site reliability engineer at Google and recent grad from Boston University.

These days, I’m working on improving my digital art and a SLAM-based virtual reality project.

While I was in college, I took two leaves of absence to intern at Google and fund my startup, Ocubrowse, respectively. I helped organized 9 university hackathons, joining the tech teams of 5 unique events. I was also president of BU’s largest mobile app development club, The Global App Initiative.

I have lots of interests outside of tech! If you like puzzles, philosophy, running, or digital painting, I’d love to chat.
