I'm a high school student at Institut Le Rosey building at the intersection of computer science, education, and artificial intelligence.

I like turning messy learning problems into scalable software: LMS platforms, AI study workflows, research tools, infrastructure, and human-AI interaction systems. I'm especially interested in how intelligent systems can personalize learning and make high-quality education more accessible.
