About Me

Me Arms Crossed

Patch Cohort 2025

I was a part of the Patch '25 cohort, where my co-founders and I built Cashew, the relationship management system that helps you form deeper connections.

TECS '24

I am delighted to have won TECS '24. My project focused on stream-processing what the student played on their keyboard in real-time and then comparing the score to the notes they actually played. I then calculated their accuracy, as well as returning sheet music of all the notes they correctly played. I used AI and ML to aid me in this process. More on my project here.

I have completed my Grade 8 in both piano practical ABRSM and music theory ABRSM.
