Engineering in Computing Student @ Olin College of Engineering

SOFTWARE | SYSTEMS | MATH | AI INTEGRATION | DATA SCIENCE | ICPC

I'm a first-year engineering student passionate about crafting scalable systems and pushing the boundaries of AI in real-world applications. With a strong foundation in full-stack development and backend architecture, I specialize in building smart, data-driven solutions, from LLM-powered workflows to RAG / machine learning pipelines.

C++ Memory Safety and Integrity Evaluation

Research Archive of Rising Scholars

This paper analyzes C++'s memory model and puts it through rigorous testing, comparing memory usage and resistance to leaks between different types of programming techniques, datatypes, and sanitizers, and compares the results to Java, which has an automated JVM and garbage collector.

Performance Evaluation of C++ and Java Programs for Portable Devices

Research Archive of Rising Scholars

This paper analyzes the performance of C++ and Java in an Android environment, measuring their runtime and memory usage between various searching and sorting algorithms. The goal of this paper is to emphasize the potential of using C++ more in app and program development in resource-intensive tasks, where Java could potentially lag behind.
