What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation in AI, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a passionate computer scientist with a PhD from Stanford University, where I focused on Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning. My dissertation was published in a prominent journal, showcasing my commitment to advancing AI technologies while ensuring privacy and security. I also hold a Master's degree from MIT, where I developed innovative techniques in Federated Learning, achieving significant improvements in accuracy and compliance for healthcare and finance applications.

Throughout my academic journey, I have honed my technical skills in various programming languages, including Python, Java, and JavaScript/TypeScript. My experience as a Research Assistant at Stanford AI Lab allowed me to collaborate on cutting-edge NLP research, where I successfully improved model accuracy by 15% through novel preprocessing techniques. Additionally, my internship at Black Corp provided me with hands-on experience in full-stack development, where I contributed to deploying a feature that enhanced user experience.
