@ Santa Clara University
I'm an MS Computer Science student at Santa Clara University, passionate about building AI systems
that solve real-world problems.
Currently, I'm researching ML-driven network scheduling algorithms while also building production automation systems that process hundreds of thousands of records. What excites me most? The intersection of cutting-edge research and practical engineering - turning innovative ideas into systems people actually use.
