About Me

I'm a junior at Stanford University pursuing a BS in CS (AI) and a MS in CS (systems). I'm interested in the intersection of machine learning and systems. My recent work has included hardware-aware model optimization at NVIDIA and Stanford AI Lab, and this summer, I'll be joining OpenAI's infrastructure team. I'm very thankful to the amazing mentors I've had throughout the way, including Dan Fu, Ethan He, and Jan-Philipp Fränken.
