01 · About

Curious by nature.
Driven by impact.

I'm a Computer Science student at USI Lugano, Switzerland, with a focused interest in cybersecurity and full-stack engineering. I've built AI-powered security tools, led product pitches to triple-digit audiences, and earned my CEH Master certification.

Previously at Singapore Management University on a full Science & Technology Scholarship. Harvard Summer School alum. I love the rare problems that sit at the intersection of security, software, and design — and the people who see them too.
