About

Hi, I'm a sophmore at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, pursuing a bachelors degree in Computer Science. In my spare time, I like reading, listening to music, video games, and bouldering.

Tech-related Interests

  1. Articial Intelligence
  2. Specifically, I'm interested in research related to running large models on devices that are not powerful. For example, running a language language model on a local server using a rasberry pi or a used laptop. I think research in reducing the memory required to load large models and speed up inference time will prove to be very useful in making current artificial intellgience based products popular with consumers.

  3. Compression
  4. Recently, I've been very interested in compression algorithms. I find them very interesting because of how effective they can be. I implemented a few image compression methods in my project, pngpeg

  5. Functional Programming
  6. I've been experimented with Haskell because I wanted to know how coding in functional languages feel. It's been a very interesting experience and has made me reconsider the way I think about certain problems.
