About me

Besides computer science, I’m interested in aviation, public transport, and geography. I spend most of my free time walking and/or hiking, listening to podcasts, and traveling. Recently, I’ve been on a mission to find out how many streets with names containing “Peachtree” there are in metro Atlanta.

I became interested in computer science in part by participating in FTC Robotics during high school. I still sometimes volunteer with Team 535 Tobor in Crawfordsville, IN, USA.

During my time as an undergraduate, I worked as a reporter and editor at the Grinnell College student newspaper, The S&B. I also wrote some articles for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette during summer 2018.
