Hey, welcome to a14z's blog v1.1! Partly inspired by a friend of mine, I'm setting this up to write ideas, reflect, (vent), and maybe even post projects. In the future I will add a portfolio as well. I feel that I have made a lot of misplays in my life and this is part of a broader effort to share my experiences and search for a brighter outlook for the future.

I'm currently be a December 2022 Junior at MIT, working at Astranis.

I'm interested in machine learning as an avenue to understand cognition for which I am doing a representation-learning related project that I hope to publish at ICLR. I am also interested in systems and optimization.
