I am a polish-american first-generation student at Northwestern University pursuing a double major in computer science and math expecting to graduate june 2028. I appreciate low-level systems, proof-based math, snowboarding, rock climbing, volleyball, dark chocolate, tea, helvetica, a good shade of gray, swedish cloud rap, and fashion. I play competitive games here and there, peaking at grand champion in rocket league across all playlists and rank 7000 globally in osu!
I spent my freshman summer as a data science intern at ElectronX, an electricity derivatives exchange, where I focused on commercial research and informed exchange expansion with electricity price volatility modeling.
Through the summer and my sophomore year, I led development of a mobile student coupon platform under Student Holdings and The Garage at Northwestern.
In my spring quarter of my sophomore year, I took on a research project extending Prescience Lab research on CHERI-based memory safety for kernel-bypass I/O. I built a memory-safe kernel-bypass driver for a Solarflare NIC which serves as a proof-of-concept for moving away from proprietary silicon for memory safety within high-performance networking, and coauthored a paper recently submitted to ROSS @ SC26.
I have spent my sophomore summer as a software engineer intern at Capital One, working with big card usage data.
Currently recruiting for offcycle and summer 2027 swe internships!
