this site is a work in progress. please don't mind the mess.
i am a senior at the university of illinois (uiuc) studying computer science. currently, i'm on a gap semester working on frontier model research at Dyna Robotics. my interests include robotics, deep learning, math, and software engineering. my goal for the next decade is to make robots ubiquitous in our everyday lives.
last summer, i was writing robotics infra in Rust for Anduril Industries. previous experiences also include full-stack dev at Capital One and LLM finetuning at a startup.
at uiuc, i'm currently a founder and co-chair for SIGRobotics, a special interest group under ACM@UIUC dedicated to encouraging project-based exploration in robotics. i also am currently doing robotics research under Yunzhu Li and Lana Lazebnik.
