About Me

I am a junior undergraduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder majoring in Computer Science with a Math minor. I really enjoy solving problems, learning new things and being part of a team that makes impactful positive changes. I'm fortunate enough to work at the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory at CU Boulder (my roles are detailed below), and collaborate with Prof. Klaus Lackner of the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions, an innovative research center leading the efforts for Carbon reversal technology at the Arizona State University. Both series of projects have exposed me to intelligent, hard-working people who make positive changes through innovation and analytical thinking.

In my spare time, I like to play soccer, read, hike and hang out with friends.

Modeling and Managing Control Systems for Direct Air Capture

I am working long-distance with Prof. Klaus Lackner (Director of Center for Negative Carbon Emissions at Arizona State University) to model and find a way to manage control systems for direct air capture. The overarching goal of CNCE is to create technology to absorb Carbon Dioxide back from the air. For more information, click the MIT Technology Review article here.

Nostalgia Games Website

As part of a software-development class, I led a project of creating a gaming website that has sign-in/up, like/dislike and commenting features. I took the task of implementing the game-pages’ design, like/dislike and commenting. We used HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Express.Js, Heroku and PostgreSQL.

MIT OCW 6.034 Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

During the summer of 2019, I completed 5 project-assignments assigned as part of a great OpenCourseWare, Introduction to AI course taught by the late Prof. Patrick H. Winston. Topics covered in the assignments include rule-based systems, hill-climbing and A* searches, game search with alpha-beta pruning, constraint satisfaction problems and deep learning. The most interesting project was creating an intelligent ConnectFour game that utilizes alpha-beta pruning.

Huffman Text-File Compression

This program was written in C++ as part of my Introduction to Algorithms class and uses the Huffman Algorithm to compress a text-file. On average, it compresses text-files to 50% of their size and decompresses them to the original version.

Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory

As an IT student at the ITLL since October 2018, I have had the pleasure of taking part in the following efforts:

  • Take part in or lead projects in an Agile environment such as participating in the design of the new ITLL website launched in April 2018.
  • Configure hardware, software and network components for new labs and workstations. We expanded to a new building and increased our workstations by 25% this year.
  • Oversee the ITLL environment (computers, 3-D printers and other hardware) to make sure daily operations run smoothly.

Facilities Services Assistant

From September 2017 until August 2018, I worked as a student facilities assistant at the Community College of Denver. As part of my job, I took upon the following responsibilities:

  • Effectively communicated with vendors to purchase or replace furniture
  • Handled the data-entry and invoice organization for the Facilities Services Office
  • As my first employment, I learned valuable professional written and verbal communication skills

Hiking

Colorado is rich in hiking trails surrounded by great views. My friends and I have been exploring new hiking trails almost every month (more often during the summer) ever since we moved here.
The above picture (as well as the background photo) is that of a place called the Hanging Lake, which is my favorite hiking trail so far.

Reading

Probably my favorite hobby. I like to read science fiction, historical fiction and philosophy. My favorite authors are Jean-Paul Sartre and Richard Feynman.
The above photo is that of 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' by Yuval Noah Harari and 'A Gentleman in Moscow' by Amor Towles, both of which were in Bill Gates' '5 Books to Read This Summer' list. I found them both entertaining and informative.

Soccer

If you are a fan of soccer, and especially of Messi, we will have a lot to talk about. If you are a fan of Ronaldo, I will appreciate your enthusiasm for the sport nevertheless.
In the above photo, the clearly superior player Messi humiliates Ronaldo...as usual.
