Biography

About Me

I am an AI/ML Engineer and Data Scientist who loves blending technical rigor with a designer's eye for clarity. Bridging the gap between engineering and art, I look at complex challenges from a distinct perspective, allowing me to architect solutions that are as intuitive and human-centered as they are robust.

I built my foundational technical skills as a software engineer at Shell, where I developed full-stack applications for EV charging networks and engineered global data pipelines. Wanting to dive deeper into the "why" behind the data, I went on to complete my master's at the UC Berkeley School of Information to immerse myself in the complete data science lifecycle.

Today I focus on reliable, end-to-end systems. Rather than jumping straight into execution, I care deeply the details that make the difference: asking the right questions, designing careful and unbiased evaluations, and making sure the final product genuinely works for the people using it. Whether I'm building an ML pipeline, exploring generative AI, or crafting an accessible user interface, my guiding ethos is the same: design with intention, evaluate critically, and deliver insights people can trust.

Featured Work: Arc Radius

Arc Radius | Legislative Tracking & Policy Navigation Platform

🏆 Recipient of the May 2026 Sarukkai Social Impact Award 🏆

Designed as a trust-critical system for a vulnerable user population, Arc Radius is a data-driven platform that helps LGBTQ+ young adults understand how legislation affects their rights and provides tools to respond. The system integrates two-staged ML classification, grounded GraphRAG explanation, and LLM advocacy generation to translate complex policy into clear, actionable civic engagement.

Ongoing Development

Our team is continuing to develop Arc Radius post-graduation. We are currently in discussions with the Human Rights Center, UC Berkeley School of Law and exploring outreach to Human Rights First, Human Rights Watch's US LGBTQ+ team, and Amnesty International to expand our platform's reach and impact.
