About
I study CS and Linguistics at UCLA, and I'm drawn to the overlap between the two: language models, interpretability, and how meaning gets built from the ground up. I've worked across AI research, software engineering, and financial analysis, and I learn best by being close to real work.
What genuinely excites me is the intersection of finance and technology: building things that move money, expand access, and change how people make decisions. I love the process of going from nothing to something, and I care about impact that's real and measurable.
I grew up in San Diego and now call Los Angeles home. Off the clock I'm usually running, playing basketball or tennis, exploring the city for good food, or shooting with my camera.
