Leadership, Research, and Teamwork

Why I Build

I am still deeply committed to joining a college environment where collaborative engineering and applied research are core values. For me, computer science is not just writing code—it is learning to build with teams, adapt quickly, and solve real problems that help people.

Team-Centered Growth

This year has pushed me to lead discussions, defend technical decisions, and improve systems through feedback. Across WILD, ActiveFilter, and IndyHax, I have focused on communication, execution, and keeping teams aligned under pressure.
