Hi! I'm a machine learning engineer with a background in biomedical engineering and robotics.

My main interests lie in 1) developing robots inspired by intelligent biological systems (such as ourselves) and 2) using computational biology and neuroscience to further our understanding of the human body to better interface with it.

I am currently a MLE at Scale AI working on computer vision for government use cases. I previously interned at Amazon Robotics, Microsoft, and two seed stage startups. In college, I was in the Mangan Group working on quantitative biology research (2021–2023) and the Xenobot Lab working on differentiable evolutionary robotics (2023-2024). I was also on Northwestern's Formula SAE team for four years, where I laid the software groundwork for our first EV car.

In my free time, I like to dance and spend time with my cat Toast. Please feel free to contact me or connect on LinkedIn to chat!
