About Me

{{< left-nav >}}

Research

Currently, I'm learning about cubical type theory. I'll probably write some blog posts as I learn more. My advisor is Favonia.

University Involvement

During my time at the University of Minnesota, I like to be actively involved in computing related student groups.

• GopherHack. I'm one of the founding officers at the GopherHack organization, hoping to grow a CTF community at the University. I prepare material for club activities.
• PL Seminar. A group focused on reading and discussing programming languages related papers.
• UMN Kernel Object. A group dedicated to studying operating system development, created in the aftermath of the UMN Linux kernel controversy.

Previously, I was also involved with:

• ACM. I was webmaster and wrote the current website, as well as helping out with other events such as CTF.
• SASE. I was webmaster and was involved in organizing student group events as well.

Open-source Projects

Some of the projects I've been working on in my free time include:

• Wisesplit. A tool for easily splitting the bill with friends.
• Garbage. A CLI interface to the trash can API.
• Leanshot. A Linux screen capture tool.

More can be found on this page or my public Gitea.

I've also started making an increased effort at using and supporting FOSS, and other software that're not predatory towards users. As a part of this effort, I'm also self-hosting and rewriting some of the services and software that I use regularly. Find out what I'm using here.

Hobbies

I'm also an avid rhythm game player and beatmap creator, mostly involved with the free-to-play game osu!. Check out some of my beatmaps on my osu! userpage.

I also enjoy playing badminton 🏸 at the rec.
