I am a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studying Computer Sciences and Mathematics. I'm interested in software development, machine learning/AI, and technology policy. I like to read, solve problems, and work on various side projects, some of which I'll post here. Right now, I'm:

trying to survive the CS major
an operations member of the Wisconsin AI Safety Initiative (WAISI)
a researcher for UChicago XLab
