About Me

Currently employed at M Science as a Data Analytics 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 "Rhythm of War" by Brandon Sanderson. Feel free to message me about anything book-related or otherwise.
