About

My professional experience spans a wide range of projects, including compilation verification, program analysis, and data science, in both academic and industry settings. I bring a unique perspective combining strong communication skills from my literature background with technical expertise in software engineering.

I'm passionate about building robust, well-designed systems and contributing to projects that push the boundaries of what's possible in programming languages and software verification.
