01 — about
I'm a Software Engineer and ML Engineer studying Computer Science and Astronomy at the University of South Florida (Judy Genshaft Honors College). I am a part of the Student Government at USF and also lead the tech division of Association of Computing Machinery Student Chapter.
I have always been obsessed with the skies above and the physics behind them. When I'm not in the terminal, I'm reading latest astrophysics papers, observing the stars, or math-ing.
