About

I'm a rising junior at BASIS Independent Schools, interested in the intersection of computer science and neuroscience. Recently, I've been studying brain-computer interfaces and machine learning.

C++ has been my primary language for the past six years. I'm also comfortable with Java and C. Python shows up often in my public repos, though it is not my primary language.

Currently, I'm building Neurotendrils with Ryan Jian and independently studying ML with Bishop's PRML.

Outside of that, I play video games and watch basketball. Derrick White is my favorite player!
