LAST UPDATED: SEPTEMBER 2026 // CHAMPAIGN, IL
im a senior studying brain & cognitive science with cs & informatics at uiuc. im currently designing and building vinskal to fix the job search.
previously, i’ve explored multimodal interaction models and human-ai interaction principles at yonsei, and engineered enterprise systems across industrial environments.
outside of screens & design, my time’s spent climbing, hardware tinkering, and late nights chipping away at my steam backlog.
