About Me
Introduction
I'm a Junior Computer Science major at the University of Pittsburgh with an Economics minor, and I love operating where technology, people, and business collide. Whether I’m prototyping an AI feature, coaching a hackathon team, or polishing product copy, I chase down the details that turn ambitious ideas into experiences people actually enjoy using. I’ve shipped work in Python, TypeScript, and the MERN stack, but more importantly I’ve learned how to listen, iterate quickly, and translate complex technical concepts into something teammates and stakeholders can act on.
Extracurriculars
Community keeps me charged. I actively attend events in the Computer Science Club at Pitt, help fellow students prioritize self-care as part of Bridge to Wellness, and stay active with Steel City Shershaah, a DDN dance team where choreography, storytelling, and tight collaboration fuel the same kind of flow state I bring to product work.
Interests
Curiosity pulls me in many directions: pickup cricket matches that stretch late into the evening, tennis rallies that sharpen my focus, and spontaneous city explorations that end with the best coffee shop finds. I’m equally happy nerding out over men’s fashion, diving into cinematic universes, or hosting Minecraft sessions with friends. Travel—especially cruises and beach trips—is how I reset, absorb new cultures, and spark fresh ideas.
Hobbies
I’m big on experiences that bring people together. I plan elaborate scavenger hunts, organize weekend adventures, and say yes to anything water-related—scuba, parasailing, tubing, you name it. When I’m not outdoors, I’m storyboarding the next creative concept or hanging with my chihuahua, who doubles as my unofficial brainstorming partner. Those moments of play keep my problem-solving flexible and my creativity sharp.
