About Me
I now work on processing a pretty insane amount of videos. Previously, I had been soaking up SoCal's sunshine while incidentally obtaining my bachelors and masters degrees from UCSD / Earl Warren College. There, I learned to strive toward a life in balance. I was fortunate to work with my fantastic advisor - Arun Kumar on machine learning systems. I also worked at Amazon for a year, strengthening their ads exchange and ebook recommendation systems.
I am a system builder. My research interests lie in the intersection of machine learning and systems. Particularly, I am passionate about designing and building innovative data systems, data analytics systems, and machine learning systems.
