experience

Software Engineer Intern · Durham, NC

Built an LLM tool for Keycloak that helps maintainers find overlooked GitHub issues and pull requests. The project serves a community of 6,000+ contributors and has surfaced 1.5k+ issues that still needed attention.

Solo Founder · Los Angeles, CA

Built Artery, a tool that helps hotel designers find artwork and artists that fit a project brief. I handled the product, full-stack build, prototypes, and pitch. The company was backed by Microsoft for Startups.

Research Assistant, URAP Awardee · Los Angeles, CA

I proposed and lead a project testing what open-source language models can do with private information and vulnerable code. I use the Enron email dataset and DiverseVul, a collection of about 349,000 C and C++ records, and study whether training on outputs from larger models changes what smaller, locally run agents can do.

Embedded Systems Engineer Intern · Los Angeles, CA

Worked on the robot’s embedded software and its web dashboard. I added SLAM and used camera, gyroscope, and speed data to help the robot plan its path.

Research Assistant, URAP Awardee · Los Angeles, CA

Built deep learning models that use molecular structure data to predict pMHC-TCR binding.

Data Science Intern · La Jolla, CA

Studied how gene activity changes with age and how those changes relate to the breakdown of gene regulation. Presented the work at the 10th Aging & Gerontology Conference in San Francisco.

Machine Learning Intern · Stanford, CA

Built a model that predicts gene expression from DNA sequence and improved the lab's previous results by up to 15% in some cell types. I contributed to a second-author paper now under review at Nature Genetics and presented the work at the 2023 Sigma Xi IFoRE conference.
