AchievementsI'm a 4x USACO Finalist, 5x AIME Qualifier, and 2023 Neo Scholar Finalist.
About Me.
Ever since I embarked on my programming journey as a young child, I've been entranced by the power and flexibility of code.
Today, I'm an avid programmer currently interested in machine learning and systems. Programming is my superpower: With it, what I can create is limited only by my imagination!
Outside of programming, I play a lot of board games, especially social deduction games (my personal favorite is Secret Hitler). I also enjoy discussing politics and government!
I strive to bring energy, technical knowledge, and a strong desire to learn with me wherever I go.
School.
I'm currently a student at MIT studying Computer Science.

In Spring 2023, I was an LA for 6.S063 Design for the Web. Outside of classes, I am part of the HackMIT team. I also enjoy participating in Harvard Systems Reading Group, Bridge Club, Poker Club, and Board Games club.
Before coming to MIT, I was a student at Monta Vista High School, where I participated in a variety of clubs, including Model UN, FBLA, AI Club, and Competitive Programming Club.
Work Experience.

Modal Labs — January 2024
Modal is a serverless cloud computing platform. I learned Rust, fixed gVisor issues, worked with Kubernetes, and investigated networking issues, reducing the latency of our serverless web endpoints by up to 3x.
Codeium — Summer 2023
Codeium is a company that builds AI-powered developer tools such as autocomplete. I led the initiative to quantize our large language model, achieving a ~2.3x speed increase for our company's product in just 11 weeks.
Projects.
I'm always working on something new. Below are a few of my favorite projects!
USACO Guide
The USACO Guide is a free collection of curated, high-quality competitive programming resources aimed to bring contestants from Bronze to Platinum and beyond.
Competitive Programming Initiative
I'm the founder of the Competitive Programming Initiative, a student-run nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting competitive programming amongst students.
Competitive Programming Solutions
This Github repository contains solutions to some of the 900+ competitive programming problems I've solved!
