Chillin in the interim

I recently graduated with a bachelors and masters degree in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology studying computer science. During my time as an undergraduate, I worked on with Ioan Raicu, Kyle Chard, and Kyle Hale. I will continue my studies at the University of California, Berkeley where I will be advised by Ion Stoica and Scott Shenker.

Broadly, I am interested in operating system and programming language codesign to improve parallelism and concurrency in distributed systems. I enjoy tinkering with operating systems and learning how hardware capabilities has guided their construction. Most recently I worked on improving dependency management systems in HPC using Python unikernels. This work was presented at SC '23.
