(he/him)
Thanks for stopping by! I'm a native Houstonian and aspiring boba connoiseur currently living in Seattle.
In the past, I've worked a full-stack developer at SnapStream Media and a computational research assistant at T-SCAN. These days, I'm a backend developer at ExtraHop Networks, maintaining databases and making sure your networks stay secure.
I graduated from Rice University with a B.A. in Computer Science and Cognitive Sciences. My work at T-SCAN leveraged BERT-based language models to predict degrees of linguistic distancing in language, and was published in Affective Science in September 2021.
