About
Simplicity is my superpower. I turn complex models into experiences users love.
I am currently a Founding Member at SylphAI. Previously, I was a Machine Learning Engineer at TikTok and completed my M.S. at University of Southern California.
My research interests lie in Multi-Modal Foundation Models, Agent Learning, and Reasoning with LLMs.
