About Me

I am a junior at Florida State University pursuing a double major in Economics and Computer Science with minors in Mathematics and Mandarin Chinese.

I have previous internship experience in startup growth, quantitative finance, and AI automation. On campus, I have tutored student athletes in math, programming, and economics classes and serve a co-director in FSU's Global Markets Group.

Some of my interests include boxing, DJing, and the Rubik's Cube.

Projects

Movement (AI ATL 2025 Hackathon) • Swift, Python

iPhone application that tracks AirPod and iPhone movement and acceleration to identify and count workout repetition to help acheive users' fitness goals. We created the data ourselves by recording our own movement and training the model using Sci-kit learn. GitHub →

Turkish Auto Price Predictor • Python (Sci-kit Learn, Numpy, Pandas, yfinance)

90%+ accurate linear regression model that predicts secondhand Turkish car prices using a Kaggle dataset. I engineered a data preprocessing pipeline to enhance data organization and prediction accuracy by imputing missing variables, filtering outliers, and one-hot encoding qualitative data. GitHub →

Rubik's Cube Simulator • C++

A 3x3 Rubik's Cube simulator that performs movements via official Rubik's Cube notation (ex: R B' U2) queried by the user and competition-legal scrambles using an algorithm I built that matches the official World Cube Assication's standards. GitHub →

FSU War Chant Remix • FL Studio

A bit different from my coding projects...I produced a house remix of Florida State University's football chant, "The War Chant". It was used by the FSU Athletic Department in a promotional video for the 2024 fall football season. You can also stream the full remix on SoundCloud here →
