01 Who I am

Computer Engineering

@ UMN

Welcome to my portfolio ecosystem! I'm a computer engineering student with a minor in entrepreneurship — driven by the belief that the best software is built by people who care deeply about the problem, the team, and whoever's on the other end of the screen.

My work spans AI-driven medical imaging, full-stack web development, and everything in between. Currently building an end-to-end AI segmentation workflow at Medtronic and modernizing AAUDE's production web presence. My sights are set on software that operates at the intersection of intelligence and human experience - precise, purposeful, built to last.

02 Beyond the Terminal

Life Outside
the Code

Engineering is what I do - not all I am.

I started building robots in a highschool storage closet and have climbed the peaks of a mountains. I run trails, read sci-fi, and believe the clearest thinking happens somewhere between a summit and a campfire.

I'm wired to collaborate. I've led robotics teams, a fraternity chapter, and cross-functional engineering efforts, and I've learned that the best ideas almost always come from a diverse room full of people who are willing to listen.
