About
I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Computer Science at Cornell Tech, with a strong interest in Machine Learning.
My professional interests lie in leveraging Machine Learning to generate insights, develop innovative solutions, and derive meaningful information. I am particularly interested in Data Science, ML Applications, ML Engineering, and AI.

In my free time, I coach a competitive freestyle ski team in Stratton, Vermont,
orking with athletes ranging from 9 to 15 years old. The younger athletes are just
learning how to hit jumps and rails, while the older ones are competing in events
across Vermont and the United States. This role allows me to combine my love for
skiing with helping young athletes reach their full potential.
On the professional side, I’m currently building a modified version of PyTorch as a
part of my coursework to refine my programming skills and deepen my understanding
of how everything AI works under the hood. I’m also extremely proud of my NLP
research paper, which is featured in the projects section of my website.
My long-term goal is to be on the innovative side of Machine Learning and AI.
As these technologies grow, I aim to make meaningful contributions in areas
where I have both expertise and personal interest.
When I’m not working, I enjoy staying active by playing lacrosse and traveling,
and I’m a dedicated fan of the New York Yankees, New York Rangers, and
Green Bay Packers.
