About Me

Currently employed at M Science as a Data Engineer focused on Video Game analytics. Recent graduate from the UC Berkeley MIDS program. I am particularly interested in Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Generative AI.

In my free time I like to weightlift, read, and play chess. I'm currently reading "God Emperor of Dune" by Frank Herbert and "The Soviet Chess Primer" by Ilya Maizelis. Feel free to message me about anything book-related or otherwise.
