About Me


Currently a Computer Science student at Georgia Institute of Technology, specializing in Intelligence and People, working towards the goal to use Artificial Intelligence for the betterment of society. My passion for AI since middle school has motivated me to take coding classes through Stanford and MIT online programs, learning Python, Java, C++, and HTML, and advanced CS classes in high school.
