About

Me
"I gain from my loss. I rise from my fall. And I win from my defeat."

Hi there! I'm a tech enthusiast, and a passionate blogger, who loves to play the keyboard, both technically and musically! I'm taking one step at a time, aiming to enrich my bag of experiences!


I'm a senior at Texas A&M University, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Statistics. I enjoy coding in C++ and Python. I've been working with data science, AI/ML, and web development. I'm looking for new-grad SWE positions, starting in May 2023.


I am an enthusiastic and inquisitive person, eager to learn.
