I graduated from CMU today — a journey I’ll always be grateful for.
For my last semester, I took classes in Distributed Systems, Cloud Computing, and Optimization, earning straight A’s. They were all solid and valuable classes. Together, they round out the ML and systems foundation I’ve been building toward throughout my time at CMU. That intersection is where I’ve found my passion, and I’m excited to keep building on it—ML performance and accelerated computing in AI after graduation.
One of the most memorable moments today was Jensen Huang’s keynote address. The line that stuck with me was his closing charge, borrowed from CMU’s own motto: “put your heart in the work” and “build something worthy of your education, your potential, and the people who believed in you long before the world did.” That message is a reminder to keep building with purpose and gratitude, wherever the path leads next.
To mark the milestone, here’s my graduation “commit” to the future:
