Hi, I’m Kaden. I study computer science at UT Austin, with an interest in backend systems and AI/ML.

I’ve built tools at Cisco, worked on autonomous driving research, and helped bring hackathons to life with Freetail Hackers.

Outside of code, you’ll usually find me bouldering, riding my electric unicycle, playing Dominion or Catan, or finding an excuse to eat sushi.
