I’m a software engineer at Modular (acquired by Qualcomm) on the MAX inference engine.

I am pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at UC Santa Cruz, where I contributed to the llama.cpp inference engine's WebGPU runtime: (code, arxiv paper)

I completed my B.A. in Computer Science at UC Berkeley and was a software engineer at Sambanova Systems and Uber for several years between my undergrad and master's degrees.

I’ve worked at Uber on large-scale distributed systems for maps and search, at SambaNova Systems on a compiler for AI hardware, and at Microsoft on the C++ linker team.
