Hi! I'm Kexin. Second-year Computer Science and Applied Math student @ Columbia Engineering.

I'm passionate about building software tools to improve education & lives. More broadly, I'm interested in AI/ML, cool math puzzles, design, and board games/games in general (hit me up with your recs)!

In my spare time, I enjoy drawing (and creating other forms of visual art), contemporary dance, the card game SET, and biking through Manhattan. I'm also a newbie fountain pen nerd!
