About / San Jose

Friendly nerd.

I’m a high-level thinker with a brain that rarely turns off. People who know me describe me as deeply logical, and I’m always turning over the hardest questions I can find: Einstein’s theory of relativity, how little we understand about the universe, infinity, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. I’m comfortable thinking where the answers are incomplete. Ask me about any of it—I would genuinely love to tell you where my mind has been lately.

Why SJSU?A full scholarship. Easy choice.
