about

A CS graduate student who has dove deep into ML/AI research, specifically, in the field of weather forecasting. Currently, I work with multiple start-ups; building and maintaining their production software across various domains like mobile applications and data pipelines. This website is an online archive of my work and thoughts (and a design exercise).
