I'm a founder, software engineer, and researcher passionate about people, startups, and artificial intelligence.
I previously researched embodied intelligence, multimodal knowledge retrieval, agentic memory systems, and continual learning at the University of Pennsylvania's GRASP Lab. As an undergraduate, I researched language model–assisted code generation at the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, and developed sparse-sensor pose estimation methods at the Assistive Robotics Lab. I also spent some time working on computer vision techniques for monocular dense reconstruction at MathWorks.
I'm a huge hackathon enthusiast (and former hackathon director!), and several of my projects are available on Devpost.
Beyond hackathons, I actively experiment with language models, program robots, and automate absolutely everything.
