CS / Math student at MIT
Background
Hi, I'm Ryan! I'm currently attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology double majoring in computer science and math, and I'm graduating in May 2025. I'm currently interested in computer systems and optimizing software performance. Outside of school, I enjoy playing video games, solving math / programming problems, and working on random projects while learning new things.
