Who
I'm a product engineer, most recently at Meta, building messaging experiences for Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp.
Previously, I studied math, computer science, and philosophy at Dartmouth, where I helped teach five courses and did research in applying reinforcement learning and computer vision methods in robotics at the Dartmouth Reality & Robotics Lab. I was also the AI lead at the Dartmouth Robotics Club.
I love building from first principles: a GPT from scratch, a search engine in C, a 16-bit CPU, and many more.
