Freshman at the University of Massachusetts Amherst studying Statistics and Computer science. Interested in machine learning, startup culture and statistical problem solving. Trying to absorb new information every day! From Cambridge, MA. (he/him/his)1

What I'm Up To Now

September 2025: I am really trying to choose if I want to pursue breadth or depth in my degree, I was thinking of doing a double major in Computer Science. This has really been the most excited I have been to build projects, of course this happens right as I start getting swamped by college work, very conflicted right now!
