Fun Facts
- Outside CS, I like to play the viola, play tennis, sing, and bake! I am also a big fan of dogs. I enjoy listening to
Official HIGE DANdism,
Ado, and NOMELON NOLEMON. I am currently reading Newcomer by Keigo
Higashino.
- I am a member of the wonderful Ithaca Community Orchestra
where I've played the viola, the triangle, the güiro, and tom-toms!
- My undergrad thesis in Music was written about Johann Nepomuk Hummel,
a composer contemporary of Beethoven, and his role in cultivating the
improvisatory Fantasie and Potpourri musical genres.

- A performance that I did with some amazing people was featured in a video on Swarthmore's youtube channel!
- The full first movement is featured here, accompanied by a rare publically available picture of me playing a musical instrument.
- I have perfect pitch! This means that I can identify musical notes without any references.
- If you take the first letter off of my last name, it becomes an element of a nonregular language - the language of palindromes!
Translations
Sometimes I put my bilinguality to test by translating my favorite songs.
