Bio

I'm an AI/UX Engineer at Sailplane PBC (I know, it's very stealth! (: ). My passion is crafting tools that people can use to make their lives more effective. I'm super excited by AI's newfound abilities to do this. I believe we can achieve utopian quality of human life with AI (here I look to Asimov's beautiful vision in I, Robot). I do not believe current AI companies see this picture, yet. In the past, I built scientific software at JuliaHub and MIT.

I have a PhD in Computational Science and Mathematics from MIT, where I was advised by Prof. Alan Edelman. My thesis explores the application of symbolic computing and partial evaluation to generate, reason about, and optimize numerical software. I love knowing about every level of abstraction of computers – from registers and cache lines to compilers and programming language design. In Fall 2020, I was a teaching assistant for the 18.S191 Introduction to Computational Thinking course. It's online and free for anyone!
