Dedicated software engineer passionate about AI and machine learning.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated software engineer with a passion for AI and machine learning, currently pursuing a PhD at Stanford. Over the past 6+ years, I have worked on diverse projects that marry cutting-edge technology with practical problem-solving. I thrive on turning complex concepts into efficient, elegant code, and I am excited about the chance to contribute to Mindrift’s mission of training AI models to write better code.
My doctoral research focuses on creating and fine-tuning machine learning algorithms, especially for tasks like natural language processing and code generation. I have had the privilege of working at Google, where I design and optimize algorithms that power innovative products. Collaborating with cross-functional teams has allowed me to integrate AI into real-world applications, enhancing user experience and functionality.
