About Me
I am an incoming PhD student at the University of Utah, where I will be joining the UtahDB lab under the supervision of Dr. Anna Fariha. With two years of full-time and two years of part-time software engineering experience, I have a strong foundation in building and optimizing systems. Over the years, I have explored research across different domains, but my future focus is on data management. I am passionate about solving complex problems and developing innovative solutions that push the boundaries of data systems.
