About
I am a software engineer on the Tools and Simulation team at Pixar. I completed my PhD in 2021 at CMU's Computer Science Department, with Keenan Crane as my advisor.Before coming to CMU, I did my undergraduate studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, where I majored in computer science with a minor in mathematics. There, I was fortunate to be able to work with Nate Foster and Bobby Kleinberg.

Personal
I like to draw.During undergrad, I learned some things about computer music, and I made a few compositions. Another time, some friends and I made a game with some graphics stuff in it.
