About

01

I'm a senior at USC studying computer science and business administration. I'm fascinated by what AI makes possible, and I build software end-to-end because it's the fastest way I know to understand how something works: the product shape, the systems behind it, the data, the interface, and getting it deployed. From May to July 2026 I was a fellow in Palantir's American Tech Fellowship, where the capstone became Beacon. Every project below has a write-up that says exactly what state it is in.

Personal Finance Coach
Live · private, syncing daily

A single-user personal-finance system that holds the full state of my finances, checks every action against the credit-card plan’s gates before it happens, and ranks every dollar’s next-best use in one queue. Append-only SQLite ledger, a 20-rule opportunity-cost comparator over assumption ranges, Claude as the primary interface over MCP.
