Mapped healthcare travel burden across Kansas, winning Best Use of External Data at DataFest 2026. The map combines hospital encounter data, census block groups, specialty prioritization, and drive-time routing to reveal regions with unequal access to care.

About

I'm absolutely grateful I went down the cyber path. I enjoy the space and constantly find myself exploring the surrounding jungle. Computation, physics, machine learning, etc. it's interesting and beautiful how it all weaves together.

I've been particularly focused on AI though. It genuinely amazes me. It's as if it taps into something fundamental about the Universe, from which intelligence emerges.

Amidst the uncertainty of where this all goes, I think it's worth allocating my attention to research and national security. I truly hope to realize a future that is amazing for humans.

On another note, I enjoy philosophy. I constantly wonder about the Universe and so was pleased to find we've been doing this for thousands of years. I have quite a bit to catch up on..

I'm 20 years old. My passions include biohacking (optimizing health), entrepreneurship, history, homelabbing, audiobooks, and a variety of other pursuits. One belief I hold strongly is that you reap what you sow.
