⚡ About

Hi! I'm Jupiter...

I am a student and a technical developer with a passion for making music and movies. I specialize in machine learning, spatial and geometric algorithms, image processing, digital signal processing, and all sorts of creative tools. I'm currently studying computer science at Tufts University in Medford, MA.

When I'm not poring over problem sets, you can find me implementing obscure algorithms, writing songs, working on short films, bouldering, or fanatically patronizing Dunkin Donuts.
