I'm a Master's student on Columbia's Machine Learning track, currently building things like encrypted knowledge-graph search and noisy-sensor rainfall inference. Right now I'm looking for full-time ML / software engineering roles starting December 2026.
Say hi!I'm a Computer Science Master's student at Columbia University, on the Machine Learning track, with a 4.0 GPA and a PDL Fellowship. My work lives at the point where applied ML meets the constraints that keep real systems honest - encrypted data that can't be decrypted to be searched, weather stations that disagree with each other, benchmarks that quietly undercount their own failures.
Most recently at Protegrity, I built a privacy-preserving knowledge graph search system using homomorphic encryption that never exposes plaintext, even to the model doing the reasoning. At Columbia's WiMNet Lab, I engineered a spatial interpolation pipeline turning a noisy mesh of personal weather stations into 15-minute rainfall maps for NYC. Before Columbia, I spent over a year as a software engineer at Syngenta shipping a production React Native app, and earlier built explainable AI tools for oncology drug recommendations and crop disease detection.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
