I’m a rising sophomore at MIT majoring in Electrical Engineering with Computing (6-5) with plans to double major in Mathematics (18). I used to be a hardcore épée fencing main with a dream to represent the US at the Cadet World Championships; in late 2019, I reached first in my age group. When the pandemic hit and all training came to a halt, I dove deeper into the worlds of contest math, web development, and UNIX customization, all of which I found to be just as rewarding. At the far end of my olympiad journey, I placed 23rd overall in the 2023 USAMO and attended MOP.
Although my olympiad days are behind me, I hope to continue working on interesting projects that help myself and the community around me. The things I’ve worked on range from decently applicable to impossibly stupid, and I’m in it for the ride and to learn as much as possible :). Feel free to reach out!
Career-wise, I’m trying to cast a wide net of different experiences to make a choice between industry and academia. I’ve worked as a software engineer in various startups such as MathDash and Passes, as well as a researcher at Stony Brook’s IACS and MIT’s COMMIT group. This summer, I’ll be working as a ML research engineer at KRAFTON in Seoul.
