data science (ai) & economics @ nyu

Currently a full-stack engineering intern at Terran Enterprise, where I'm a founding engineer on Terran Denizen, a career platform for MBA students at the M7 business schools. We built it from scratch: four Next.js apps and a Node API on one PostgreSQL backend, with an iOS app on the way.

In summer 2026 I was a technology risk intern in EY's Financial Audit IT practice in Ulaanbaatar. I worked with the EY Hong Kong team on a bank's security operations center assessment, and tested IT general controls for a mining company's audit.
