I study CS and math at Caltech. I'm broadly interested in the frontier of language and world models, and how we can build more personalized AI through memory and continual learning.

Worked at Read Bean (YC S23) to help build Banter, an AI language exchange partner.

Researched multi-agent AI systems to personalize health & wellbeing @ Columbia SEA Lab. Co-authored MindfulAgents and received Honorable Mention (top 5% of papers) @ ACM CHI 2026.

High school researcher @ UCI CORSA and ZhangLab. Worked on hardware accelerator design optimization using graph-RAG and bioinformatics algorithms research.

Performed at New York's Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Pianist for Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra (PSYO).

03Projects

Built MindPaw, an NLP-based mindfulness app to help youth achieve better emotional awareness. Awarded by WAICY, IgniteCS, and others.

Led team of 5 to build a moonshot, 3D web app to simulate NASA’s Artemis II mission with an interactive real-time visualization of spacecraft.
