About Me

I studied Computer Science at UC Irvine with a focus on AI/ML, and I'm currently working through UC Berkeley's Master of Data Science program. These days I spend most of my time building AI systems that get used by real teams — investment analysts, operations staff, QA engineers.

Day-to-day, that means FastAPI backends, RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, and figuring out how to make these things reliable at scale. I've spent a lot of time on evaluation and monitoring because I've learned the hard way that an AI system is only as good as your ability to measure it.

I care about systems that are reliable, measurable, and useful.

Outside of work, you'll find me experimenting in the kitchen, at the gym, or planning trips with friends.
