Hi, I'm a software engineer at L3Harris KEO. I graduated with my Master's in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

In my spare time I like reading manga, rollerblading and 3D modeling/printing. I'm also interested in quantified self, and do self-tracking experiments as a hobby.
