About

I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Computer Science. My main areas of interest right now are programming languages, compilers and distributed systems. I've also made two synthesizers this semester - a physical one implemented in C and one in Rust. Computer Science is a pashion of mine, but so is composing and writing music — it's my creative outlet. I am currently looking for research opportuinties and can't wait to contribute to meaningful investigation!
