About

New grad from Caltech with a B.S. in Computer Science and focus on Machine Learning and Data Analysis. Currently working on the Developer Productivity / Tools team at Confluent. In addition to the work I've done in my internships, I've also been incredibly involved in student leadership and club management in both university and high school. Technical communication and direction planning have always been passions of mine, and I naturally gravitate towards evaluating systems and implementing new solutions in any environment. I highly value having the space to make decisions and identify areas of improvement in the workplace.
