Bio

Currently, I am an Applied Scientist on the Alexa Sensitive Content Intelligence (ASCI) team at Amazon.

I was previously a Master's student at UC Irvine and I studied Computer Science with a specialization in AI & Machine Learning. My M.S. thesis research was in the field of Natural Language Processing and I was advised by Professor Sameer Singh. My interests range from NLP to Deep Learning and Data Mining.

During my senior year at the University of California San Diego, I was part of a research group (advised by Professor Garrison Cottrell) that built DeepJ, a deep neural network that composes polyphonic music.

In between undergrad and grad school, I worked at Blizzard Entertainment as a software engineer on the Overwatch League site.
