UCSC CubeSat Team

Currently, I serve as the Secretary of UCSC's SlugSat. SlugSat, is a collective of engineers, scientists and programmers, united by the common goal of sending a spacecraft into orbit. This year, we achieved a significant milestone by being the first class in our program’s eight year history to submit a launch proposal to NASA via CSLI. We are hopeful to launch next year.

SlugSecurity
UCSC Computer Security Club

This year, I'm excited to join SlugSecurity at UC Santa Cruz. In this club students explore programming through hacking. With a focus on competitive hacking, we host workshops, engaging talks, and thrilling competitions. I look forward to learning about identifying and preventing exploits, which will deepen my understanding of computer software security.

Recording-breaking sprint!

Track and Field
UCSC Men's Track and Field

As a determined walk-on my freshman year, I achieved the remarkable feat of breaking the UCSC 100m school record. Despite injuries in my sophomore year, I'm now an upper-classman and ready to make my mark once again. With the support of our dedicated coaching staff, including the addition of a lifting coach and brand new lifting facilities this year, we hope to have a successful year.
