AI holds the future to become our greatest invention, or our downfall. As someone who has fallen in love with the concept of bringing my imagination to life through computer science, I am driven and determined to ensure AI remains as a driving force in positively changing lives.

Who
Am I?

Hi, I'm Brian! I'm currently pursuing a Master’s of Science in Computer Science at Columbia University and have recieved my Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I’m incredibly passionate about artificial intelligence—I truly believe it has the power to reshape our reality in profound and lasting ways. Together, we're united by a shared goal: helping others. Let's harness the power of artificial intelligence to make a real difference, changing lives for the better.

Funny enough, I may have accidentally fallen in love with education. Being a TA for an intro to programming class at UC Irvine gave me a sense of purpose I didn’t expect—and a real passion for helping others grow. Do I want to become a professor? I'm not sure yet, but for now, I'll continue to do my best to help others anyway I can.

Outside of tech and academics, I’m a passionate mountain biker and a proud owner of a BMW M3 E46—named Carbeetle—a car passed down to me from my father. I love the thrill of speed, whether it’s flying down a mountain trail or tearing up the track with Carbeetle. That adrenaline rush keeps me sharp, focused, and always pushing forward—on the bike, behind the wheel, and in life.
