👋🏼 hey hey!

I'm a 4rd year undergrad CS boi @ UCLA. I like making algorithms go brrr and using them to process biological data (DNA/RNA/protein sequences).

Sometimes, I blog about CS. For high school students who are interested in research, I have a list of opportunities I wish I'd known about when I started.

Here are some stuff I'm doing right now:

• (Exciting projects... let me cook!)

Here are some stuff I've done in the past:

• I've consulted for the startup Exai Bio.
• I've worked with Martin Steinegger @ Seoul National University on Block Aligner, a new SIMD-accelerated alignment algorithm in Rust. I was supported by the Emergent Ventures grant.
• I've worked as a student researcher on the DeepConsensus project in the genomics team @ Google. DeepConsensus is used in PacBio's Revio sequencing machines to produce accurate DNA reads using deep learning!
• I've worked a little bit with UCLA's ELFIN team on CubeSat flight software.
• I've interned @ 10x Genomics's computational biology team.
• uwu
• I've worked with Hao Su and Ronald Yu @ UC San Diego on the adversarial robustness of 3D point cloud deep learning.
• I've worked with Abraham Palmer and Jianjun Gao @ UC San Diego on efficiently preprocessing sequenced DNA reads. I was part of the REHU program funded by NIH.
• I was platinum rank in USACO, a Regeneron STS scholar, and an Apple WWDC scholar.
