I just finished studying Computer Science at Purdue University.
I'm into brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neural decoding. I'm building for a future with communication at the level of thought :)
I've been working on speech synthesis from neural data in Prof. Joseph Makin's Lab since Spring 2026. We should publish soon.
For more, see the timeline below.
Timeline
-
Found what keeps me up at night, right as I wrap up undergrad
I arrived at something I find super interesting. I went all in on BCIs.- I worked on speech synthesis from neural data with Prof. Joseph Makin. We should publish soon.
- I researched classifying cognitive motor inhibition from EEG data with Prof. Yu-Chin Chiu. I presented this at Purdue's Spring Research Conference and will be publishing. GitHub
- I also TAed CS381 (Analysis of Algorithms) with Prof. Kent Quanrud and Prof. Mike Atallah this semester.
Presenting at Purdue's Spring Research Conference -
Interned at Meta
Worked on WhatsApp's Business Cloud Calling team, which launched product during my internship.- Built country-driven inbound call control. Shipped APIs, Android & iOS apps, business-facing dashboard.
- Also horsed around with logging call quality metrics for a bit.
-
Did XR research with Prof. Voicu Popescu
I took a VR course with Prof. Popescu in the spring and enjoyed the content. I researched seamlessly transitioning from virtual to real environments with a Meta Quest 3 headset over the summer.

Running some of the experiments -
Founding Engineer at a startup
TL;DR: did whatever was needed to ship - talking to customers, engineering, recruiting, and more.- Product: EMR (electronic medical records) + CRM (customer relationship management) for clinics, with bells and whistles. Selling in 15+ countries.
- I took the semester off to build. Rewrote the backend in Go, automated generation of large portions of frontend Flutter code, etc.
- Recruited and onboarded 6 engineers; led the team for next ~2.5 years.
An absolutely random picture here hehe
A few months ago, I started messing around with an OpenBCI Cyton headset. I wanted to decode data from my brain for cursor control. Dry electrodes produce very noisy signals, plus my long hair meant the electrodes weren't even reaching my scalp. So, I buzzed my hair off.A little after that, Neuralink visited Purdue.
