CS @ University of Virginia · Incoming @ GitHub & IBM
I'm a computer science student at the University of Virginia. I build systems, automated data pipelines, and developer tooling. Raised in a single-mother, low-income household, I came from nothing and learned early to build with whatever I had—starting with Scratch games at age 10 and eventually earning a full-ride QuestBridge scholarship to UVA.
A real-time vulnerability detection pipeline integrated with GitHub Actions and FastAPI. Scans pull request diffs using AST parsing and signature analysis to catch security flaws before production deployment. Analyzed ~1,000 code snippets per run with 97%+ accuracy.
Built at Strategy (MicroStrategy) to eliminate manual competitor research. An automated Python scraper and NLP pipeline that ingests 500+ competitor reports weekly and outputs 40 concise markdown briefs directly to internal channels, cutting manual analysis effort by 90%.
An accessibility tool translating American Sign Language into spoken voice in real time. Built at HooHacks using OpenCV for hand gesture tracking and a TensorFlow model trained on GCP. Achieved 98%+ accuracy on ~1,000 test samples and won 3rd place in the Accessibility Track.
Joining the NYC Financial Markets team to help enterprise clients deploy IBM AI and data software using agentic tools and technical proof-of-concepts.
Core Migration Engine moving 200K+ repos/month. Defining FY27 roadmap from F500 user research, designing a checksum validation tool for top 100 enterprise clients, and prototyping agentic Copilot/MCP workflows that cut manual migration overhead by 75%.
Founding fellow in a community of founders, operators, and investors partnering with Ramp, a16z/speedrun, MongoDB, Stripe, and AngelList.
Built an automated competitor intelligence scraper cutting team manual analysis by 90%. Independently architected a cross-region cloud POC with 99.9% projected availability.
$5,000 scholarship and direct mentorship from former Kakao CEO and NYU Stern professor Jihoon Rim.
Scaled project capacity 86% (7 to 13 clients/semester) by introducing Jira workflows for 50+ student consultants. Co-launched partnerships with Oracle and Palantir.
Built a 5+ VM security lab using Kubernetes and Docker. Automated Bash log ingestion pipelines handling 50k+ daily logs with 30% lower delivery latency.
1st place out of 20+ teams in the Bain & Company x Virginia Casing Organization competition.
1st place in cybersecurity collegiate CTF out of 30+ teams open to all 1,000 HooHacks participants.
Mentored 500+ students in Java OOP and data structures. Led weekly labs of 100 students on a 30+ person TA staff.
Full four-year merit scholarship for low-income students (~1% acceptance rate). 1 of 15 Match Scholars at UVA.
Selected for UVA’s honors program representing the top 5% of students in Arts & Sciences.

Growing up with an autistic brother and no financial safety net, I learned to be resourceful and take responsibility early. I taught myself to program on Scratch when I was 10, hacking together games until they reached 70,000+ plays on the front page.
Winning a full-ride QuestBridge Match scholarship to UVA changed my trajectory. Today, I split my time between technical execution (writing scrapers, APIs, and ML models) and product strategy (translating user friction into technical roadmaps).
Outside of work, I play church pickup basketball, play electric guitar, watch Christopher Nolan movies, and play pickleball.
