Hello, I’m
Chemical Engineering and Sustainability student at the University of Rochester.
Pursuing industrial work to apply my chemical engineering experience. Capable of connecting tools from software, hardware, science, and engineering.
Curious by nature.
Building with purpose.
About
I’m a Chemical Engineer driven by curiosity and the challenge of solving complex problems that shape the future of energy. I’m especially interested in power generation, particularly nuclear fusion (a field that has inspired me since high school), as well as process engineering and its role in creating efficient, sustainable systems. I’m seeking industrial experience where I can apply what I’ve learned and continue building practical engineering skills.
That same problem-solving mindset shapes my work as a developer. I build scientific computing and data tools that turn technical ideas into clear, approachable experiences people can understand, explore, and use. Whether I’m working in code or collaborating with a team, I value thoughtful communication, careful iteration, and making difficult questions easier to investigate.
Selected work
This collection will grow as new work is completed.
An interactive scientific web application for comparing thermodynamic and transport properties across temperature and pressure ranges. It includes customizable fluids and properties, interactive graphs, unit conversion, and downloadable data.
A local-first home cooking companion that brings pantry inventory, recipes, shopping lists, meal planning, expiration reminders, and grocery insights into one place. Optional AI helps inspire meals, import recipes, and scan receipts while keeping everyday cooking data in the browser.
A research and strategy archive for recurring competitions in the U.S. edition of Big Brother. It separates competition families from individual season appearances, making it easier to compare mechanics, skills, variations, evidence, and strategic patterns across the history of the game.
