I’m interested in what data tells us, but even more in what it leaves out and the stories behind those numbers.
Through computer science, research, and the things I build, I want to understand these stories more accurately and translate complicated information into tools people can use to make decisions for themselves.

I spend a lot of time going down research rabbit holes, questioning results, and figuring out how complex information connects to the people behind it. That might mean examining drought predictions station by station, exploring the assumptions behind a city ranking, or changing Crohnnect after conversations with teens and physicians. Outside coding, you’ll find me teaching Kathak, making art about cities and nature, or helping other students build ideas of their own.
