I'll be graduating from Brown University in May 2027 with an Sc.B. in Computer Science and an A.B. in Music. I'm currently on the lookout for Summer 2026 internship opportunities.
Most recently, I had tons of fun as a Research Associate at Activision Central Tech. My work in rendering architecture and optimization earned me credit on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Before that, I learned lots as a Research Assistant at Brown Visual Computing advised by Daniel Ritchie. There, I helped build a system which appropriately oriented objects within 3D scenes. I was also part of the Academy Software Foundation's 2025 Summer Learning Program, through which I was mentored by Cary Phillips and Crane Chen. The SLP truly gave me the skills and confidence to pursue a technical career in the entertainment industry.
In my free time, I like to play jazz with my friends, read Mary Oliver's poetry, and bake unnecessarily complicated desserts.
