I’m a creative engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Contact: X, LinkedIn, or [email protected].
Interested in: dynamical systems, (statistical) machine learning, information theory, and large language models; morality, rationalism, and individuality.
- Engineering apprentice at Google for summer 2023 (1/30 nationwide); final project on collaborative work platforms for education.
- Independent research advised by Phil Mui on enterprise-safe large language models.
- Research at a Mozilla-backed stealth startup on optimizing attention in transformers to infinite context length and constant complexity.
- Work on utilizing artificial agents to aid the refugee crisis at the UN.
- Co-organizing various events and hackathons.
Now days I often find myself straying away from building side projects like I did over previous years and think on more theoretical or foundational work, either through formal work or through research.
- On π-Order Derivatives: an expository study on fractional calculus and a collection of interactive visualizations. I attempt to set intuition, describe mathematical foundations, and apply it to various common functions.
Misc: For fun, I play volleyball, read (primarily philosophy and fiction), audit courses at Stanford, and hack in San Francisco.
Finally, she mused that human existence is as brief as the life of autumn grass, so what was there to fear from taking chances with your life?
