I'm a senior at Duke University, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Marine Science & Conservation.

I'm interested in the environment, oceans, and conservation. I really enjoy the process of ideating, creating, and deploying software. I'm excited about applying software to meaningful problems.

Through coursework, jobs, and personal projects, I'm proficient in Python, R, C, Javascript, & HTML/CSS with experience in network architecture, full stack web app development, computer graphics, AI/ML, data analysis & visualization, webscraping, and embedded systems & robotics.

I am an active member of the Duke Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing Lab, where I'm working on creating a series of intercommunicating, low-cost, autonomous boats to survey alligator populations in North Carolina.

In the past, I've worked at Nuance Communcations, which has now been acquired by Microsoft, as a summer Software Engineering Intern, specifically with a Site Reliability Engineering team.

I've also worked with Saving Nature to wireframe an R Shiny web app to visualize a large geospatial dataset of habitat ranges for endangered South American bird species.
