i'm a second year studying computer engineering at purdue university with an interest in software & visual computing. i enjoy working at the crossroads of engineering and artistic expression-- combined, they reshape how we learn, play, and connect.
currently pushing purdue's culture of creative tinkering as the head of communications at purdue hackers and showing off cool high altitude sounding rocket parts as the media manager of five dynamics.
