CS, ECONOMICS & VISION

I'm interested in building software and understanding how computational systems interpret visual information.

Background

01

I'm a Computer Science and Economics student at Case Western Reserve University with an increasing focus on computer vision, image processing, and machine learning.

I enjoy technical work that combines mathematical reasoning with practical implementation, especially problems involving visual information.

My background also includes software engineering, database systems, computer security, algorithms, and numerical computing.

Photography has been a major interest of mine outside of coursework, and that interest in images is one of the reasons computer vision has become such a natural direction for me.

Outside CS

05

Photography is where my interests in technology and visual thinking overlap most naturally.

I enjoy photography both as a technical process and as a creative one — composition, lighting, editing, camera systems, and the way images communicate information.

Outside of academics, I'm also involved with Photography Club, Math Club, and Go Club at CWRU.
