I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (Honors) and a Minor in Public Policy, in 2.5 years.
I was an undergraduate machine learning researcher advised by Dr. Ritwik Gupta and Dr. Cam Allen at BAIR and CHAI.
I was a research fellow at OpenAI in Fall 2025 as part of their Launchpad program. Participation, at least for the inaugural batch which I was part of, was invite-only.
I've published workshop papers at NeurIPS and ICML, and contributed to a chapter in a soon-to-be-published technical AI safety book. You can find my papers on my Google Scholar. I'm still actively doing research (as a hobby / side hustle, if you will)!
I'm a history buff. My favorite historical figure is Alexander Hamilton; I could go on for hours about his career and life. Anyone with foundational knowledge of the man should read The Hamilton Scheme by William Hogeland to gain a more complete understanding of Hamilton's work (there are some inaccuracies, but they're small in number and not central to the point of the book). For primary sources, read Founders Online or, if you like books, The Essential Hamilton by Joanne B. Freeman.
I'm a guilty perpetuator of the CS nerd stereotype of liking climbing. I'm on V4/V5 walls now (my fingers need help). I also play volleyball, basketball, netball, table tennis, and badminton.
I draw manga! A lot of my inspiration comes from DBZ, both art style- and story-wise. Other influences include Naruto and Haikyu.
I'm currently reading classics like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. I then moved to Singapore when I was 12. Now you can spot me around the Bay Area.
