I'm a Computer Science student at Colorado School of Mines, specializing in Robotics and Intelligent Systems with a minor in Computational and Applied Mathematics. My passion lies at the intersection of human-centered technology, machine learning, and gaming innovation. I have a deep my fascination with how humans and technology interact, particularly in creating intuitive and meaningful interfaces between users and machines. Beyond academics, I take an active leadership role in DEI&A communities as the Vice President of Community Outreach for Out in STEM (oSTEM) and as the Sponsorship Lead for the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers' West Regional Conference (SASE WRC). I'm particularly drawn to exploring how emerging technologies can enhance human experiences, whether through innovative gaming solutions or responsible AI implementations. I believe in creating technology that not only pushes boundaries but also considers its broader societal impact.

2024 HRI Research | Mines Interactive Robotics Research
I presented our work at the 2024 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2024) in Boulder, Colorado. This research highlights the potential for robots to use more human-like gestures in large-scale interactions, and underscores the need for further exploration of multi-modal communication in robotics
FreeTime App | Productivity Mobile App
The Colorado School of Mines requires professional work experience done through a field session course (CSCI370: Advanced Software Engineering). Companies come to assign course work to teams in which we familiarize ourselves with Agile and Scrum techniques. My project was to help FreeTime LLC. in creating an iOS mobile app which utilizes an AI algorithm to optimize productivity and minimize phone usage particularly to combat doomscrolling. Through developing Flutter/Dart code using Firebase, we successfully implemented an app which monitors user app usage, sends approval requests to an external buddy, and finally utilizes a voice clone.
