Let me introduce myself!

I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech. Most recently, I was a Machine Learning Intern at Apple Inc., where I designed an NLP pipeline utilizing transformer-based LLMs. Previously, I worked at StellarDNN, a lab at Harvard University, researching data augmentation techniques for astronomical datasets using generative networks.

 

I have demonstrated expertise in machine learning, data science and data analytics. I have worked with tabular, image, audio, text, and time series data and would love to collaborate on any such project!

Beyond tech, I love a game of tennis, a good book and I'm a student of classical dance.
