Welcome to My Page

I’m an undergraduate studying CS and Mathematics at Georgia Tech. My interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, language models, and performant systems, with a long-term focus on LM/ML research. I currently work with Hongru Du and Xinyao Yi in the Du Lab at the University of Virginia, developing machine learning systems for decision-making. I also conduct research on post-training techniques and ai benchmarking in the Kang Lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

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. Before Amazon, I developed websites for the real estate industry.

Outside of computer science, I have experience in fundamental equity research, personal portfolio management, and reselling ventures, through which I generated more than six figures in revenue.
