I'm a philosophy grad student, software engineer, artist, and filmmaker from Poughkeepsie, NY, based in Waltham, MA.

I'm currently a philosophy master's student at Brandeis. I'm interested in metaphysics, 19th and 20th century European philosophy, and the philosophy of science.

Previously, I worked as a software engineer on data visualization and graphics infrastructure at Bloomberg, Lightroom Web at Adobe, and VR research at the University of Pennsylvania. I graduated from the DMD program at Penn.

My creative background and primary practice is in painting. I also do video art, writing, photography, zine/bookmaking, block printing, and woodworking. I'm drawn to cross-disciplinary and multi-media projects.

My first short film, CLOUDCOUNTING, was a finalist for 'Best Experimental Short' at Cal Film Festival, and was selected for the San Diego Independent Filmmakers Festival and Brooklyn International Short Festival in 2024. As a filmmaker, I'm interested in making experimental narrative films about metaphysical, psychological, and interpersonal themes.

I program films and curate panels for the Asian-American International Film Festival. I've moderated Q&As for film screenings such as Autobiography, and introduced a screening of Saving Face at Film Forum.
