Hobbies

Guitar

Playing guitar is my favorite way to relieve stress. You'll often find me jamming out to Coldplay, blissfully fingerpicking classical fingerstyle, or challenging myself with some (near-impossible) John Mayer riffs. I'm currently designing a custom guitar pedal and amp that I'll be building soon!

Tennis

I've been playing tennis since 7th grade, and it remains my favorite physical activity. The sport has taught me discipline, focus, and the importance of continuous practice. In high school, I developed a system to detect tennis court occupancy using computer vision and a Raspberry Pi. You can read my project report if you want lol.

Web Dev

Web development is my creative outlet where I'm able to combine my love for art/design with problem solving. It's pretty straightforward and relaxing - there's nothing better than going to a coffee shop and working on an app for hours. I'm currently working on a top-secret app that will benefit Berkeley students!
