I am a senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a focus on systems engineering. I'm primarily interested in applying advanced compiler and optimization techniques to industries historically dominated by operations research.
Before attending UC Berkeley I worked in various manufacturing roles including metrology and thin film deposition. I spent one and a half years at a renewable energy company doing project engineering, where I developed a passion for the multidisciplinary problem solving required when working with physical infrastructure.
Bridging my background as a renewable energy engineer with my current work at UC Berkeley, I am working with energy startup Surya Technologies to bring modern CS concepts to problems in the physical world.
