I'm a junior at Columbia studying Computer Science and Math, and a Neo Scholar (2025 cohort).

At Columbia, I research agent failure at DAPLab, lead the AI Alignment Club, and am part of Columbia's entrepreneurship club, CORE. Previously, I worked on AI observability products at LangChain, and generative video models at Pika.

I enjoy pretty much anything outdoors, especially snowboarding and kitesurfing.
