I did the global thing for real.
I learned what reliable sounds like in ten different accents.
I was born in Nimereuca, near Soroca. I do not remember it, but it still feels like the start. I grew up in Chișinău, which is where I learned two things: how to move fast, and how to have opinions.
Left early. Kept moving. By university, new countries stopped feeling new. You learn to spot patterns: who delivers, who talks.
Two majors. Would have done three. I like hard problems and people who finish what they start.
I am not chill. I am just professional about it.

Education
Class of '25
B.S. Computer Science & AI · B.S. Biology (Cells & Organisms)
Ranked #1 in the world for innovation by WURI in 2025. No campus. Seven countries. Live seminars, heavy on discussion. Small, selective, and a little weird in the best way.
Student Body President. Founded Minerva Football Club and the Breakfast Club, a roaming food and discussion group that met in Taiwan and India to explore local spots and talk through university life. Member of Google Developer Student Club.
Started in biology, added CS along the way. Not planned. Just kept finding myself in situations where technical skill mattered, and I liked that.
Got lucky with professors. Special thanks to Rena Levitt, John Levitt, and Katie Donnelly. And especially Jon Wilkins, my capstone advisor and favorite professor.

Class of '19
Boarding school in Pennsylvania. I mixed a pretty unorthodox set of interests: advanced math and STEM, wrestling and soccer, drawing, vocals and digital music production, plus a part-time job in the school cafeteria. It was intense, but it fit me.
ASSIST scholarship award. National Spanish Exam medalist. Academic distinction.
