About Me

I am a Computer Science Master's student at ETH Zurich, pursuing a major in Data Management Systems and a minor in Information Security.

My focus is on software-hardware co-design and developing hardware-specific software to maximize efficiency and speed. I am also interested in applying these computing techniques to solve complex problems in finance.
