About Me

I'm a college sophomore from Boston passionate about developing high-end software for the open-source community. I currently study Computer Science at the University of California, Los Angeles, where I'm taking courses in data structures, algorithms, and systems. You may find me online as PulseBeat02.

I contribute to bring new cool features to the multimedia ecosystem, like integrating computer vision and machine learning into media playback with SAM2 to segment objects and draw faces in real-time.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing clarinet in my university orchestra and wind ensemble, and develop my own open-source projects. I also maintain a YouTube channel, where I discuss some of my projects in further depth.
