Originally from Texas, I'm currently a junior at MIT pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Research is a grand passion of mine. Recently, my interests have shifted heavily towards distributed systems. I love working on complex problems for which simple solutions can be derived, especially when the solution is optimized by using a distributed platform. I also care deeply about web development, especially the areas of UI and UX. When I'm not studying or working on a project, I grab my saxophone and start playing some tunes.
