BS/MS in Computer Science @ Yale University

Software Engineer & Nonprofit Founder

I'm a New York City based junior at Yale University pursuing a combined B.S./M.S. in Computer Science, along with certificates in Chinese Language and Ethnography. I've worked as a Software Engineering Intern at Dow Jones and as a Machine Learning Research Intern at HKUST, where I researched retrieval-augmented generation systems and explored techniques for reducing hallucinations and improving multi-hop reasoning in large language models.

I enjoy building user-focused software that solves real problems, especially at the intersection of software engineering, systems, AI, and interactive storytelling.

Outside the classroom, I founded Bridging Seas, a nonprofit organization that connects high school students across 12 countries through cultural exchange. The organization grew out of my belief that meaningful conversations can bridge differences in ways textbooks cannot.

If you are a software engineer, recruiter, nonprofit owner, activist, or just interested in connecting, contact me.
