Hi! I’m an alum of UC Berkeley Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology Program where I did a dual degree in EECS and Business. I’m interested in building accurate LLM & ML systems, low-level systems, and general software systems with a bias for building fast.
My experiences include:
- Cofounder & CTO of Relta, where I built a Python library enabling SaaS developers to build accurate & secure user-facing AI Assistants integrated with that user’s relational data. See here for some demos, documentation, and blog posts
- PM & SWE Intern at Dataherald (YC W21), sole PM of a YC startup as a college freshman. Authored PRDs, got CEO and CTO alignment, built ETL pipelines, and led shipment of various live visualization dashboards. Set best launch-day performance at the time; >140,000 active users and 500,000 impressions.
- SWE Intern at Segmed (YC W20), built end-to-end dev and live testing framework for medical SaaS
- SWE Intern at Correlia Biosystems (YC W18), designed remote diagnostic tools and outlier rejection algorithms for robotic pharmaceutical devices
Here’s a few things I did on campus:
- 3x student researcher under Prof. S. Shankar Sastry on designing a real-time ROS system to play ping pong, at Sky Computing Lab under Prof. Natacha Crooks on query engines for a byzantine fault tolerant database, and at CNMAT under SJSU Asst. Prof. Andrew Blanton on real-time human pose streaming.
- 3x Teaching Assistant for CS 162: Operating Systems and Systems Programming and CS 70: Discrete Mathematics and Probability Theory – taught ~300 hours to ~100 students.
- VP of Projects and VP of Professional Development at UpSync Consulting – sourced pre-seed to series A companies for consulting projects, oversaw and trained 40 consultants.
I’m always looking to collaborate on existing or new projects. Feel free to reach out below.
