  1. 2025now

    Software Engineer

    Brighterway YC S24

    Building AI document infrastructure for healthcare. Halved our inference cost while making the document splitter more accurate, took client capacity 10× with HIPAA-compliant ingestion APIs, and shipped a voice agent that takes patient histories alongside physicians.

    Researcher

    Weill Cornell Medicine

    Multiple sclerosis lesions are rare enough that models starve for data, so I synthesized them — turning 177 real lesions into 10,000+ training samples. The network trained on them beat the published state of the art by 8%. First-author paper in progress.

  3. 2023summer

    Data Science Intern

    Yale Center for Biodiversity & Global Change

    Built species-distribution reporting for mol.org, including seasonal modelling that lets ecologists trace migration across the year.

  4. 2022summer

    AI Engineer

    VinBigData

    On the computer vision team, designing and testing deep learning methods for medical image segmentation — including a 3D U-Net built from scratch to segment liver lesions on CT scans.
