I am a first-year computer science student from Melbourne, Australia. The two most relevant things about me and why this page exists are below in dot-point form :)

• I have been a computing nerd for a looong time (I remember writing my first BASIC program on my iPad when I was eight; that's where it started)
• I work on cool Rubik's Cube tools

My interests fluctuate a lot. I enjoy exploring systems programming and TCS very broadly. Right now, I'm interested in learning more about:

• Theory of computation
• Programming language design and implementation
• Algorithmics

Outside of study, I love exploring with my friends, watching footy, and trying to learn new things. I'm also a pretty washed competitive speedcuber. Earlier in 2026, I officially became the second-fastest Australian to have solved a Pyraminx, setting a time of 0.97s at the Australian National Championship in Melbourne. This time is 0.01s (!) slower than Sebastian Lee's 0.96 national record, but I'm just happy to show that maybe I'm not entirely unc yet in the cubing community 🤷‍♂️. As of July 2026, I was ranked 31st in the world for Pyraminx single.

Most of my projects are open-sourced on GitHub. Any big projects I'm currently working on are listed below.
