About Me

I'm a computer scientist passionate about connecting deep theoretical math to scalable software solutions. My academic journey took me through Calculus I & II, Linear Algebra, Theoretical and Advanced Calculus, and Numerical Analysis⁠—courses I didn't just pass, but used to build and optimize real-world algorithms.

In Python, I've implemented simulations, numerical solvers, and conducted data-driven modeling. My flagship project: leading a four-person team to build a DuckDB–Snowflake extension using Arrow/ADBC, with full authentication, testing, and infrastructure—now poised for contribution to DuckDB's open-source codebase.
