Electronics and Mechanical Prototype Engineer

We built an automated bubble tea dispenser at MIT, and was funded by Y Combinator. We took 8 months off from MIT to work on the company full-time, but decided to go back to school after some soul-searching. Skipped YC's demo day.

Lambda Tea

Co-Founder

Analyzed 3D re-construction of camera positions and sparse geometry using the structure-from-motion algorithm in the Computer Vision group. (2017)

Worked on semantic compositions using sparse encoding. Showed how the sparse distributed approach is capable of encoding hierarchical relationships in semantic vector compositions in an online fashion. (2018-2020)

MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)

Researcher

Benchmarked deep learning operations on Dell server setups containing Nvidia Tesla P4 & P40 GPUs using caffe inference models AlexNet and GoogLeNet. Created a Machine Learning 101 class for Dell’s sales department.

Dell EMC

System Engineer

Contributed to a program in C that uses Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch algorithm to produce audio stretching on the scale of up to 10^18 times slower. Created a device that transposes live sound through a MIDI keyboard using Max/MSP.

MIT Media Lab
