I am a computer science PhD student at Brown University, advised by Uğur Çetintemel and supported in part by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My research interests focus on databases and machine learning systems.

I graduated from Amherst College with a Bachelor of Arts in computer science and mathematics. At Amherst, I explored scalable and statistically-sound data mining algorithms as a research assistant in the Data* Mammoths research and learning group led by Matteo Riondato.

Between my time at Amherst and Brown, I worked as a software engineer at Microsoft in Redmond, WA.

As for hobbies, I enjoy playing tennis, ice hockey, guitar, and cello!
