01. About Me

I am an Honors Computer Science student at Clemson University with a 4.0 GPA, specializing in Software Development and Cybersecurity. My passion lies in the intersection of building robust software and securing it against modern threats.

Currently, I'm working as a Capstone Software Engineer with Michelin, engineering AI-driven migration pipelines. Simultaneously, I conduct research at the TigerSec Laboratory, focusing on automotive security and embedded protocols.

I thrive in environments where I can apply technical skills to create secure, efficient systems while collaborating with others to solve complex problems.
