About
I am a Master's student in Computer Science at UIUC and a Software Engineering Intern at Microsoft. I previously interned as an SDE at Amazon and AWS, and I enjoy building backend systems, ML-powered tools, and software that combines rigorous technical ideas with useful products. Recently, I built Magellan, a Chrome extension for asking natural-language questions about web pages.

I enjoy working on different software projects. Here are a few of my favorites.

Combinatorial Auctions
Research-style project studying winner determination in combinatorial auctions using mixed-integer programming. I implemented auction instance generators, tested custom branching heuristics, and analyzed how solver time limits can affect allocation quality and incentive properties.
