About Me

My development journey began with building my first website as a freshman in high school. Since then, I've developed various personal projects and contributed to advanced Generative AI initiatives for companies like The Parker Avery Group.

I'm passionate about developing AI-driven software and committed to modern development best practices. With a strong interest in advanced analytics and statistics, I aim to create systems capable of making meaningful, data-driven decisions.

Outside the classroom, I stay active in campus life. As a Transfer2Tech Mentor, I help incoming transfer students transition to Georgia Tech. I'm also a Founding Father of the Beta-Kappa chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha, where I work to establish a culture of leadership, community, and personal growth.

When I'm not at my computer, I enjoy lifting weights, playing sports, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.
