About Me
I'm a senior software engineer at Roblox, where I’ve spent over four years developing translation, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech machine learning models. My journey began with a B.A. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, followed by an M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford. I’ve also gained valuable experience as a software engineering intern at GoDaddy and Wish.
During my time at Berkeley, I served as an undergraduate student instructor for courses like CS 186 (Databases) and CS 61C (Computer Architecture), and I contributed to as a member of the course staff for Data 8, Data 100, and EE 16A. Additionally, I was an advisor and course co-coordinator for the executive board of Berkeley's Computer Science Mentors, as well as the treasurer of Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the computer science honor society. My experiences as a TA at Berkeley were featured in an article for the Chronicle of Higher Education, in which I was interviewed.
In my free time, I enjoy long-distance running, rock climbing, scuba diving, and exploring the world with my camera. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to summit Half Dome, complete multiple half-marathons and marathons, and travel to over 25 countries, with each adventure fueling my passion for both technology and the great outdoors.
