Ever since I was little, I was obsessed with learning, and throughout my life, I have developed a strong set of technical skills that have matched my drive to always learn. For example, I thought myself Java in 7th grade, and since then I have also become proficient in C# and JavaScript; languages that I have used to develop mobile apps. I am currently a student at Olin College of Engineering majoring in Computer and Electrical Engineering. Keeping in step with my desire for knowledge, I have also coupled the concepts that I learned during my first year at Olin in Python to teach myself Django web development, Rails web development, and the MERN stack—among other new skills like utilizing Google Cloud, Heroku, and Azure. From my second year I was able to delve deeper into the logic and structures of computing, using tools like Verilog, C and various build environments along the way. Additionally I took the time to self study blockchain technology and recently released my own cryptocurrency. During my third year I learned more about firmware through C++ and was able to build upon my web development skills withe React along with decentralized app development within the Ethereum/Polygon ecosystems with Solidity and Web3JS. I also gained further exposure into the music industry and was able to launch a startup focused on empowering independent artists monetize their passions through NFT's. During my final year of undergrad, I took everything I had learned and focused on giving back. This led to the launch of a fellowship program that awarded up to $100 to high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them pursue their own technical passions. After graduating from Olin, I began my journey as a graduate student at Princeton University, where I am pursuing an MSE in Computer Science. My time at Princeton has allowed me to dive deeper into human-computer interaction (HCI) research, focusing on solutions with real-world implications, such as improving the transparency of decentralized systems and leveraging computational tools to address pressing social issues. Additionally, I was honored to receive a Fulbright fellowship, where I collaborated with international organizations on high-impact projects. These experiences have solidified my commitment to using technology for meaningful, transformative change, further aligning my passion for learning with real-world problem-solving.
