Exploring the Frontiers of Programming and National Parks

Hi there, I'm a 4th year studying Computer Science at UC Berkeley. My academic passions include all things Computer Science. I have delved into Blockchain Development through the startup I co-founded in Highschool using the decentralized nature of the Blockchain to store clinical trial information. I recently garnered Cybersecurity and Vulnerability Testing experience through my most recent internship with Appsoc. I have a particular forte with Machine Learning through the numerous internships I have completed with focuses on Computer Vision and Large Language Models, the numerous classes I have taken covering the math and design of neural networks, a multitude of personal projects such as Reinforcement Learning based opponents in my favorite board game, and finally the research I am conducting on In-Context Learning alongside Professor Anant Sahai.

When I am not putting off studying for class, I am busy with numerous extracurriculars such as Cal Hacks where I am an organizer for America's largest Collegiate Hackathon for over 8000 participants, or as a Consultant for 180 Degrees Consulting, Berkeley, part of the world's largest student consultancy completing projects for non-profits and social enterprises such as the United Nations or the Environmental Defense Fund, and as a Project Manager for Datastory where I head teams of data scientists to implement predictive language models for Fortune 500 banks.

I sometimes do things for fun. I am currently learning how to do card magic, by the way shoutout to the Penn and Teller Masterclass, and I am on the quest to visit all National Parks, currently at 14 out of 63.
