About Me

I am a graduate! from University of Washington, Seattle. I have a major in mathematics and a minor in data science.

I dabble in programming, and I hope to learn more about things like embedded software, game development, and shader rendering. I'm looking for a job in tech, so if you know of any open positions please email me.

I hope to move this website to be completely self hosting in my own homelab in the next year, and host my own email. Because I believe that the internet should be more independent.
