I conduct AI research with Professor Ranjay Krishna at the University of Washington. I earned my Master's degree in Statistics from UW in 2024.

Previously, I worked as a Data Scientist at Neustar, where I developed Machine Learning models for customer attribution, improving marketing efficiency for major clients.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Economics from Santa Clara University, where I was advised by Professor Frank Farris.

My research interests include Text and Video Generation, Agentic AI, and Statistical Methods.

We introduce REALEDIT, a large-scale image editing dataset with authentic user requests and human-made edits from Reddit, enabling models to better address real-world needs. Our model, finetuned on the REALEDIT dataset, shows state-of-the-art performance results and is able to generate extremely high quality edits.

In-class Kaggle Competition, 2024
Kaggle

Leveraged neural networks and statistical methods to optimize prediction intervals. Implemented Jackknife resampling to construct robust intervals based on empirical error distributions. Designed a dual-network architecture to predict upper and lower confidence bounds, employing custom asymmetric loss functions.
