Hi, I'm Tavin!

🦬 Studying CS at University of Colorado Boulder

📻 Skyrocketing my playlist count

Computing is our most powerful problem-solving tool. I translate my spurious curiosities into tech-led change, for the real humans out there.

A rising technologist with rigor and too many opinions, my style mixes creative approaches in intelligent systems with interdisciplinary in-the-weeds-ing.
