Biopsychologist turned developer with a B.S. in Biopsychology from UC Santa Barbara (2024). I'm drawn to projects that sit at the intersection of neuroscience, data, and software — from psychology experiment infrastructure to NLP tools and real-time visualizations.
- B.S. Biopsychology — University of California, Santa Barbara, 2024
