I am a third-year Computer Science major at Northeastern University, deeply passionate about Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and creating innovative solutions at the intersection of technology and user-centered design.

I am committed to exploring diverse opportunities in technology and research. Some key achievements include:

• Publishing research on mapping the typographic latent space of digits using disentangled Beta-VAE's at the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR).
• Completing an LLMOps Internship at Wissen Infotech, where I designed AI accelerators and multi-agent systems for automated testing and workflow optimization.
• Engaging in projects focused on preference-based optimization models and real-world data analysis.

I am continually learning and developing my expertise by:

• Building web development projects, including a dynamic portfolio website to showcase my work.
• Applying my skills in machine learning, graphical user interface (GUI) design, and data-driven applications through academic and independent initiatives.

I combine technical proficiency with creativity:

• Experienced in video editing, proficient with tools like DaVinci Resolve Studio and Filmora, producing high-quality visual content.

I bring strong leadership and organizational skills to all my endeavors:

• Currently working as a Teaching Assistant for Northeastern’s Programming in C++ course, providing mentorship and support to students.
