About Me

I'm a Computer Science and Business student at the University of British Columbia (BUCS Program), graduating in April 2026. My interests lie at the future of tech and software, especially how systems can be optimized to be more efficient and scalable using AI.

I've worked on projects that range from full stack web development to building new applications with the latest AI technologies. I'm excited for what is possible with these technologies and how they can be applied in innovative scenarios.

I also had the opportunity to enhance my global perspective of technology and business during my exchange studies at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, which focused on machine learning. I got to see how some of the brightest innovators are pioneering the new era of technology at scales unheard of before.

Asides from all the tech stuff, I enjoy exploring a mash of the great outdoors and city life that Vancouver blesses me with. From going on hikes in Squamish to beaches in 30 mins to skiing and snowboarding in Whistler. I also love to visit the variety of cafes and restaurants in the city. (need new recommendations)
