I started out by doing robotics in elementary school and later again in high school, and combined with my passion for games decided to continue learning about programming and computers in college. My main fields of interest are in machine learning, digital accessiblity, and software engineering.
Outside of computers, I usually spend my time reading books or playing video games. I also like studying languages both in terms of acquisition and linguistics.
