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.

At Uber, I worked on large-scale distributed systems for maps and search, and at SambaNova Systems I worked on a kernel compiler for AI hardware.
