I'm an undergrad at Northwestern studying Computer Science and Physics. I'm currently in Denver, Colorado interning at Amazon working on AWS Ground Station where I'm building data ingestion pipelines for satellite ground stations.

Previously, I did research at Georgia Tech's Jamali Lab on how to better fine-tune visual models like Meta's SAM (Segment Anything Model) for tasks in materials science like particle tracking. I co-first-authored a paper accepted to the NeurIPS AI for Accelerated Materials Design workshop.

Before that, I was a Software Engineering Intern at Beyond Menu, where I worked on backend infrastructure for AI phone ordering.

My general interests currently lie in software engineering and science.
