about

who i am, what i'm doing now.

i'm a uc berkeley undergrad studying data science and molecular & cell biology. i spend most of my time building software that i personally need to exist — and then sharing it.

i founded canvascope, a privacy-first academic productivity platform used across 10+ university domains, and i'm expanding it into a wider ecosystem of student tools — in-browser pdf annotation, cross-device sync, and an ipad companion with apple pencil support.

at lawrence berkeley national laboratory, i work on reproducible python pipelines that integrate heterogeneous microbial datasets. i also design automation systems — github actions triage, agent-driven email digests, calendar workflows — and run a self-hosted homelab on a raspberry pi 5.

i care about clean code, intuitive products, and shipping things that work. if you build at the intersection of student tools, data, or biology, i'd love to hear from you.

now building canvascope mobile & expanding lbnl trait pipelines.
recently shipped dropbridge · cross-device handoff for pdfs.
reading the pragmatic programmer · lab notebooks on kg-microbe.
elsewhere berkeley · asuc · kaiser cope health scholar.

contact

open to internships, research collaborations, and conversations.

i'm currently open to internships, research collaborations, and conversations with folks building student tools, healthtech, or anything at the data ↔ biology boundary. the fastest path is email.
