About Me
Currently, I am taking a break from working to do my Masters in Machine Learning at University College London. I like physics, technology, and philosophy.
Previously, I was an Applied AI Engineer at Scale AI and a software engineer at Amazon on Project Kuiper, a satellite internet constellation.
I also did research and ML projects at Activ Surgical, Northeastern University, and MIT Lincoln Lab.
If you're interested, here is my resume. Better yet, here is a picture of my dog.
Here are a random assortment of things I find interesting:
Projects
AMPED: Advantaged Markov Proxy Evolution Dynamics
A novel deep RL algorithm that generalizes MuZero to n-th order Markov chains and combines the PPO objective with the MuZero objective for better generalization.
Scientific Truths Are Not Self Evident: Science, Perception, and Identity in America
Analyzed cultural perceptions of science with NLP techniques and big (Twitter) data and determined that science is often perceived as a narrative rather than a set of truisms.
Shifting Morals: A Study in Probabilistic Machine Ethics
Shifting Morals is a thought experiment inspired by MIT's Moral Machine. However, instead of deterministic outcomes, Shifting Morals posits that outcomes are probabilistic and that everything is up to chance.
