About Me

I'm a Research Engineer currently exploring the territory of continual learning and reinforcement learning. My superpower is that I look at a problem through an adversarial lens. My interests span across interpretability and misalignment of AI systems.

I occasionally mentor students navigating their first steps in ML or early career decisions in tech, it's my way of giving back to the communities I come from. If you're part of the UC or IIT system and want to chat about machine learning, research, or breaking into the industry, feel free to reach out at {first_name}.{last_name}07{at}gmail.com.
