Profile
With an upbringing in Arduino and Python, I've recently transitioned to a focus in security, Web3, and machine learning. From competing in coding contests to adventurous side projects, I'm always looking to take on engagements that require learning concepts from scratch. I often go to hackathons and CTF competitions, and I enjoy researching emerging technologies in my spare time. When I'm not busy with my technical commitments, you can find me outside on a spontaneous adventure with my friends, watching Champions League soccer, or binge-watching the latest Netflix shows (Suits >>).
