I'm a Computer Science Junior from Florida International University and passionate about Applied Deep Learning research and Software Engineering. I love to make an impact in my community and inspire curious people to do the same. I've previously worked at NVIDIA as an intern, and now partake in full-time research associated with LLMs, Robotics and self-study diffusion models (+ All the math behind these things).

• 🌱 I’m currently learning: JAX, CUDA, the XLA API, and Automatic Differentiation
• 🍓 Working on a LDM project for real-time video generation

• DARPA - Undergraduate Researcher (September 2024 - Present)
• NVIDIA - Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2024)
  • Worked on scaling the usability of a cloud infrastructure platform to orchestrate Machine Learning and Robotics workflows.
  • Collaborated on the OSMO platform, using tools like Jenkins, ArgoCD, FastAPI, Next.js, and Bazel.
  • Assisted in GEAR (Generalist Embodied Agents Research) Lab's research in Foundational Videogame Agents.
• INIT FIU - AI Lead & Director of Technology (Jan 2024 - Present)
  • Taught weekly workshops on Machine Learning and Mathematics for a community of 35+ developers
  • Collectively read and implemented multiple research papers as part of weekly projects.
  • Collaborated to create the website to orchestrate ShellHacks 2024, with over 1,400 expected hackers.
• Google - Tech Exchange Student (Jan 2024 - May 2024)
  • Participated in an exclusive educational program led by Google engineers and full-time employees.
  • Selected as 1 of 3 out of 182 students to be a student speaker at the graduation cerimony for the program.
  • Acquired applied computer science skills such as full-stack development, algorithms and data structures.

My main reserach interests are in:

• Mechanistic Interpretability of LLMs
• Code Generation
• Natural Language Processing
• Foundational Agents
• Sim-to-Sim Transfer Learning

• Explainability in AI for Robustness in Autonomous Control Systems (NCUR 2024), Advised by Dr. Sumit Kumar Jha
