hi, I'm Zee. — welcome to my little corner of the Internet. part sandbox, part lab, part love letter.

More about me:

Zz

The world is my classroom, and curiosity is the teacher I trust most. Every person, project, and place has taught me something—so I try to build with purpose, empathy, and wonder.

I study Computer Science and Math at Case Western Reserve, where I work across research, teaching, and tech for social good.

What drives me: real-world impact, a global lens, and stories worth telling.

Zelan
