I'm pursuing a dual degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UNSW Sydney, driven by a passion for creating technology that bridges the physical and digital worlds.

From designing AI-powered gimbal stabilizers with custom PCBs to building Augmented Reality (AR) apps that won the Swift Student Challenge, I thrive on projects that push boundaries.

When I'm not coding or soldering, you'll find me exploring emerging technologies, contributing to open source, or prototyping the next thing that excites me.
