I will be an Engineer at Ciridae from June 2026, working on AI transformations.

Education

Harvard University (‘26)
B.A. in Computer Science
M.S. in Statistics

Research

ML Systems. I like distributed systems. I’m not very good at it. But here is what I produced after spending a summer thinking about fault tolerance in distributed ML — poster.

Statistics. I like Statistics. And did Harvard’s SPUDS during Summer 2024, sponsored by the great Xiao-Li Meng and under the incredible mentorship of Connor Jerzak. It appeared in clear2025.

Also with Connor, I contributed to fastrerandomize. It was published in SoftwareX.

Teaching

I had the pleasure to be a teaching assisstant for these wonderful courses:

Fall 2024: Course Assisstant for Stat188 (Variations, Information, and Privacy) under Prof. Xiao-Li Meng, with the Graduate Teaching Assistant Kyla Chasalow. Spring 2025: Course Assisstant for Stat111 under Prof. Joe Blitzstein, and Stat288 under Prof. Xiao-Li Meng.

I’ve also enjoyed mentoring family friends’ kids in college admissions.

I gave a guest lecture on Multi-Scale Causal ML + Satellites research for Stat288, and a guest lecture on Agentic AI Systems and Deployment for GOV355M (AI Programming Foundations).

For Winter 2025, I went to Yerevan, Armenia to lead a two week Learning Lab on “Building Tools with GenAI” at TUMO. I had the sweetest experience that I wrote about here.

Other Miscenalleous Facts

I went to Harrow International School Hong Kong, where I had fond memories studying History, Drama, English, Music, and playing Badminton and Rugby. However, my experience with the bureaucracies there, as well as just being a child who was not suitable with the general educational system, made me often terribly unhappy, and helped me understand I will have a difficult time being in a system with a great amount of formality.

I had a lot of free time on my hand during COVID and spent a lot of time reading continental philosophy (Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Hegel, Kant, etc.). I won the Trinity College Philosophy Essay Prize for my essay on Social Media and Hannah Arendt’s Concept of Solitude. I was also highly commended in the Philosophy section of the John Locke Essay Prize for an essay on Heidegger and Morality.
