Raising the ceiling.

B.S. Computer Science · Expected Dec 2027. Where harder coursework and the ICPC took me to the national stage.

At SJSU the coursework got harder in the best way. Advanced DSA, Databases, Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, Information Security, and Probability & Statistics. Each class gave me a new lens, and the systems courses in particular changed how I build software: I started thinking about failure, latency, and scale by default.

But the defining chapter was the ICPC. With my team, we trained relentlessly, and became the first SJSU team in history to advance to the ICPC North America Championship, finishing 27th nationally after placing 8th at the Pacific Northwest Regional. Representing my school on that stage is the proudest moment of my academic life.

Everything I do now, from building full-stack products and AI agents to pushing my competitive rating, traces back to those two classrooms and the people in them.
