(_Info)
I'm Thomas, a math and computer science student at the University of Pennsylvania. I build systems that operate on uncertainty and adversaries — poker solvers, prediction markets, plasma physics, computer vision on fight footage, maritime threat detection. Thought I'd be a quant. Turns out I just like edges. Currently shipping control-plane infrastructure on AWS FSx, available for 2027 summer roles and new grad '28.
