Mission lead @ Columbia Space Initiative - building AR tools, software, and UIs for NASA's SUITS program. CS student at Columbia, passionate about technology that expands what people can do. Currently working on the fundamental gap in modern AI: agents are great at writing software, but horrible at the minute details of hardware design, requiring experts in the field. I'm working on the Manhattan Reasoning Gym under the Barnard PL Lab to get agents to understand the physical world, designing hardware through an open-source FPGA cloud. This will enable more professionals to work with hardware, accelerate the engineering/design process of experts through autonomous research/assistance, and discover new circuits.
I've worked on many projects, ranging from mobile apps to software for future lunar missions. I'm an incoming mission lead for Columbia's Space Initiative on the SUITS team, where we collaborate directly with NASA engineers!
As a low-income student, my passion is making technology that enables the abilities and opportunities of others. Much of that comes from understanding the user's needs and perspective via UI/UX. I care a lot about UI/UX -- most of my projects start from asking what someone actually needs, then designing from there. I have designs I love to talk about!
- 🎵 I play piano and guitar, and I code music too. I've built projects around Farnell Synthesis, Markov Chain composition, Pitch Set Theory, musical Cellular Automota, and creating my own synths using AM/FM/LFO. Also producing on Ableton!
- I love reading manga (One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen) and fictional stories. That's what got me started with programming: making adventure/combat videogames.
