🥳 Welcome to my GitHub!
🍵 I use he/him/his pronouns.
🎓 I graduated with a B.S in Computer Science + Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2021, and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science.
💼 I am actively seeking research internships (especially UX research) for summer 2024. I am open to software engineering, product and/or program management, and consulting internships as well.
✨ My research interests primarily revolve around accessibility and making technology accessible to all, especially those within the blind and low-vision (BLV) community, as well as education, wanting to understand the ways that education (particularly CS education) is inaccessible to those with disabilities. I am also interested in understanding mental health within the BLV community; more specifically, through lived experiences as well as volunteer opportunities, I have developed a nuanced understanding of the emotions associated with vision loss, and I am motivated to discern whether existing technologies adequately support the BLV community (especially those with low-vision).
🌍 I also love learning about all of the different ways data is used to make the world a more inclusive place for everyone and frequently seek out ways that inaccessible data affects society.
🍳 My non-professional interests include fitness, reading, cooking, gaming, and writing!
