Hello!

I am a quantitative trader at Jane Street. Before that, I studied computer science and linguistics at Columbia University, while also taking classes in mathematics. My academic interests were in probability theory, statistical learning, and theoretical machine learning.

Outside of academics, I like trying new restaurants, playing video games (Hearthstone Battlegrounds, Brawl Stars, Minecraft, anything on switch), playing chess, watching football or basketball, working out, watching cooking videos, and listening to music.

Previously, I was a quantitative trading intern at Jane Street. I have also interned as a quantitative trading intern at SIG in Bala Cynwyd, PA.

#Research

Currently, I am not conducting research. Previously, I was part of the ROAM Lab, conducting deep reinforcement learning research (e.g. PPO) for robotic manipulation.

Before that, I was part of an ongoing research project at Columbia University, studying how we can use machine learning for preeclampsia detection from retinal images. The work was published and presented at the 2023 International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) here.

Before that, I worked as an intern at Oak Ridge National Lab, using autoencoders to compress neutron spectroscopy data for direct prediction. I presented my results in a poster that you can view here. My work resulted in a publication into the Machine Learning: Science and Technology journal.

#Programming

Broadly, I work on web development, tooling, UI/UX, and analyzing and storing data. I'm interested in learning how things work and in writing code that is readable and maintainable. Check out my Github. Below are my favorite...

• Languages: Python · HTML/CSS · Javascript · Rust (currently learning)
• Frameworks: ExpressJS · ReactJS · Bootstrap · Pug · PyTorch
• Tools/Services: VSCode · MongoDB · Heroku · Git/Github · fish shell

#Quizbowl

I was formerly the vice president of PACE, a 501(c)(3) non-profit quizbowl organization that runs the National Scholastic Championship (NSC), an annual national high school quizbowl tournament. As vice president, I am the head editor and logistics person of the question set that is used for that tournament.

I was also the vice president of the e-board of Columbia University's Quizbowl Club, where I am in charge of hosting tournaments. I'm the creator of qbreader.org, including geoword and the Quizbowl Packet Parser.

#Science Bowl

I was the webmaster, organizer, and question writer for the first National Science Bowl League. I formerly taught Science Bowl classes through Summit Scibowl, which I cofounded and managed the website for. I created a popular Science Bowl program to calculate aggregate team and category stats.

I wrote for/helped run the following competitions: 2021 MIT Science Bowl, MOSFET, CCWTWO, MOOSE, and WISC.
