Welcome to My Page
I’m an undergraduate . My interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and language models, and low latency systems. I currently work with at UVA, developing machine learning systems for decision-making. I also conduct research on post-training techniques and AI benchmarking in the at UIUC.
I spent two summers at Amazon developing backend infrastructure for a conversational AI product. My work involved exploring chain-of-thought reasoning, agentic interactions, and LangGraph architectures to improve system reliability and performance. Prior to this, I worked part time as a full-stack developer for a boutique real estate company.
For fun, I built a small portfolio and reselling venture through which I generated more than six figures in P&L.
