WORK
<Tech>
I'm super passionate about bringing artists' visions to life through technology -- specifically through graphics engineering and technical art. I was introduced to computer science at my tech-focused high school, where I learned how to code and discovered that I love the intersection of art and technology. Now, at Brown, I'm pursuing a Sc.B. in Computer Science, specializing in visual computing and machine learning. In addition, I'm a research assistant for Brown Visual Computing (BVC), where I'm advised by Daniel Ritchie. At BVC, I'm developing a zero-shot machine learning system which orients arbitrary 3D objects using image and geometry processing, physics simulations, and LLM techniques.
{Art}
I'm a jazz pianist with roots in classical music. I've been part of acclaimed ensembles, won international awards, and performed at venues including Carnegie Hall. Recently, I was lucky to play piano alongside Jon Batiste. I'm currently pursuing an A.B. in Music at Brown with a focus on jazz performance and film scoring, and I'm the keyboard player for The Femmes. My style is inspired by a variety of folks, including Esperanza Spalding, Herbie Hancock, Pharoah Sanders.
In addition, I started animating in 2024, when I took a 2D Animation course at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). I’m now self-studying 3D animation.
