Who am I?

Oh no, I hope this doesn’t get existential

The (mildly boring) Basics

I’m a Junior pursuing a double degree in Computer Science and Business at UPenn Engineering and Wharton in the M&T program. I’m also pursuing (and almost finished) an Accelerated MSE in Robotics.

Last summer, I was in Cambridge as the first hire at Suno (a leading gen-AI music startup). I did a lot of initial building for their product. Long story short, they made a super flattering offer, I almost dropped out to help lead their growth (whoopsies), and ultimately decided that the best use of my time is to learn and build my (*our*) own thing. Because, 1) YOLO and 2) between spending our twenties working a job (b0ring) OR drastically improving the healthcare system, the latter sounds sicker (no pun intended, hehe).

Some of My Favorite Things

Books / Authors: Godel Escher Bach, Khalil Gibran, and Percy Jackson (for the memories)

Things to do: laugh, ski, rock climb, rock out to music in the car, pet dogs, and read / write

If I were a dog I would want to be a: Bernese Mountain Dog because one moment they are saving people from avalanches, the next they are making kids laugh. Talk about a life well lived.

Some Fun Lil’ Things I’ve Buillt Recently

Book Share (so that I can link directly to book excerpts in the blog I’m working on. The bonus feature is that when I’m feeling extra annoying spicy, I can now text my friends book excerpts instead of typing a response like a normal person, muhaha)

ChatGPT4.1 (because my friends wanted to use ChatGPT4 without forking out $20 every month)

SDXL Image Generator (this is from the fall, before Dall-E got good and friends wanted a web based image generator)

AI-TA (my aunt is a grade school teacher and wanted to be able to write essay feedback faster)
