About Me

I'm a quantum science graduate student at UCLA with a passion for pushing the boundaries of computing and technology. With a background in applied physics and computer science, I've worked on everything from quantum algorithms to orbital dynamics at Northrop Grumman, and I'm the cofounder and CEO of Tune Social, a music social media platform.

My work spans quantum computing implementation, AI pipeline development, and front-end design. I hold a Top Secret DoD Security Clearance and have been recognized as a Magna Cum Laude graduate, Arrupe Scholar, and member of multiple honor societies.
