I'm an undergrad at Cornell studying Computer Science and Mathematics.

I'm interested in improving how machine learning models are trained, optimized, and implemented across both research and applied contexts. My current interest lies in vision systems and AI agents.

I help contribute to ML research with Professor Jennifer Sun's lab group, where I've been benchmarking and experimenting with vision models. On the industry side, I've worked as a software engineer at Emergence AI and ST Engineering iDirect. This summer I'm interning with Microsoft CoreAI.

I also love to dance Bhangra, play basketball, and do food challenges.

Here's my notepad, where I post reactions or reflections after coming across a tweet, paper, video, book, or some content makes me think. These notes are often free-form and loosely organized.
