Brief Biography

I am a machine learning research intern at percipient.ai. I earned my master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from UC San Diego and my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley. I enjoy applying machine learning solutions to problems in the fields of computer vision and natural language understanding.
