About Me

Hi! I recently graduated from Yale University where I studied Computer Science. I'll be working in San Francisco next year doing software engineering. I like to run, sing, spend time with my friends and family, and go on adventures (and make YouTube videos of said adventures) (Click to watch me and my friends chase the Northern Lights in Sweden)!
