I'm a PhD student in the Hardware Systems Collective at UC Santa Cruz, and am advised by Dustin Richmond. I'm broadly interested in Computer Architecture and Hardware, and enjoy the intersection of theory and hardware. I am also interested in FPGA's, High-Performance Computing, and green computing. My current project is implementing a MatMul-free neural network accelerator using ternary weights on an FPGA. My Bachelor's degree is from Scripps College in Art and Computer Science. I did my CS major through Harvey Mudd's program. Outside of CS/CE, I enjoy drawing, making and reading comics, non-human simians, tea, desserts, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule, and more.

At some point I will update my actual CV and attach it instead...
