About

I grew up a curious kid, but my interests were largely overshadowed by my obsession with football. Becoming the best player I could be with the prospect of reaching the next level dominated my life.

I played two years on the Duke Football Team as a preferred walk-on before taking my first ever Computer Science course in Fall 2024. I was fascinated by the field, and subsequently decided to quit football and switch my major from Economics to CS. I redirected the intensity and obsession that I honed in football into this domain, and completed the major after 3 semesters.

I have an innate desire to understand how things work on a deep level, and apply this understanding to make tangible change in the world. Alongside my CS and Economics coursework, much of the time that freed up after football has been devoted to exploring various interests, including but not limited to neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy. I'm intrigued by how these fields affect human behavior on an individual level, and how these behaviors aggregate into emergent structures, like markets, institutions, and cultures.

My interests cut across multiple industries, and I'd be happy doing serious work in engineering, AI research, investing, or finance. I care most about effecting real change, both on an individual and organizational level.
