About me
I’m drawn to questions about how systems work, how technology changes them, and how thoughtful ideas become useful in the real world.
I’m a University of Washington student interested in the intersection of economics, emerging technology, and real-world problem solving.
I enjoy learning through both study and hands-on work—whether that means examining economic incentives, exploring a new application of AI, developing a project, configuring a speaker system, or heading out with a camera.
