About Me

Hello.

I’m a senior-year college student focused on XR, AI/ML, and Quantum.

I build immersive physics simulations, contribute to ML infrastructure, and design interactive tools for learning.

Recent work includes Unity E&M demos used in teaching and a merged PR to Apple’s MLX.

Currently exploring field visualization, GPU-accelerated ML, and accessible STEM experiences.

I am available for research collaborations and internships.
