About Me.

Ever since I embarked on my programming journey as a young child, I've been entranced by the power and flexibility of code.

Today, I'm an avid programmer currently interested in machine learning and systems. Programming is my superpower: With it, what I can create is limited only by my imagination!

Outside of programming, I play a lot of board games, especially social deduction games (my personal favorite is Secret Hitler). I also enjoy discussing politics and government!

I strive to bring energy, technical knowledge, and a strong desire to learn with me wherever I go.

Modal Labs — January 2024

Modal is a serverless cloud computing platform. I learned Rust, fixed gVisor issues, worked with Kubernetes, and investigated networking issues, reducing the latency of our serverless web endpoints by up to 3x.

Codeium — Summer 2023

Codeium is a company that builds AI-powered developer tools such as autocomplete. I led the initiative to quantize our large language model, achieving a ~2.3x speed increase for our company's product in just 11 weeks.
