Hi!

I'm an AI Safety Research Engineer and Musician.

I am currently a Founding Member of Technical Staff at Sampura Research, working on human–AI complementarity for AI safety. Before that, I built multi-agent systems at an AI startup, ads infrastructure at Google, and a cross-platform browser engine at Hulu.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in 2019.

I also like to explore my passions in Jazz Improvisation, Language Learning, Stunt Biking and cooking. Shoot me an email if you'd like to chat!
