About

I am a computer scientist, composer, and performer at Stanford University, having studied computer science as an undergrad and currently pursuing a master's degree in music, science, & technology (CCRMA). My projects span audio-visual experiences, electronic music production, and theatrical performances. My work reflects my passion of blending art with technology to tell compelling stories through sound and graphics. When I'm not working on music technology, I enjoy biking, riding trains, and spending time with my friends.
