Researching LLM agent scaling laws, which are the relationships between training compute and agent capabilities of LLMs.My project involves running different models scaffolded as LM agents on various agent benchmarks (GAIA, METR, etc.) and investigating how the underlying model's capabilities and scaffolding influence the agent's performance on the benchmarks.Additionally, we are researching techniques to increase the information gained from running agent tests (see our post https://t.ly/7Lr8A).

Designed and implemented a neural network to predict gaze direction using pictures of the eye from inside a virtual reality headset. The model achieved a total angular error of only 0.85 degrees.Conducted research on using gaussian splatting to automatically create convolutional neural network (CNN) layers for 3D data. Used C++, CUDA and Pytorch.

Designed and trained an inverse dynamics model (IDM) to predict car steering input from velocity data. Used the IDM to create an offline reinforcement learning dataset, and benchmarked offline RL algorithms on the dataset.Wrote a sequence of reinforcement learning tutorials to teach students policy gradients, deep Q-Networks, TRPO, and PPO using the Metadrive environment.

Improved user experience by creating an in-app portal to report errors and issues with the Lacework platform. This feature automatically creates corresponding customer support tickets on Zendesk whenever a user reports an issue.Collaborated with the customer support team and the UX team to develop the design for the tool. Worked with both the front end and back end teams to implement the tool using React, Java, and PostgreSQL.Designed and implemented new components for the Lacework UI library using React and Typescript.

Improved the tools researchers utilize to interact with LLM agents by adding live updates to the web interface, so that researchers can view the results of their experiments in real time. Used Websockets, React, Flask, and OpenAI API. Increased performance of LLM agents by improving prompting strategies and adding heuristics to select the best completion.

Implemented a Discord bot to allow participants to make bets using Manifold Markets (manifold.markets). Created an online tournament platform for people to compete Python bots that play iterated prisoner's dilemma. Used Postgres, Rust, and React.

San Jose

Designed and built a IoT device to monitor student attendance, as well as a web app to provide teachers with attendance analytics, leading a team of eight developers.Used by ~2000 students at my high school, and received thousands of dollars of funding from our school district.I used KiCAD to design the PCBs, C++ on the ESP32, and React, Typescript, Java, MySQL for the analytics platform.

I lead a team working on LifeSketch, a scheduling software designed to help people with procrastination problems. We use a Rust + Postgres + Typescript + React stack. Additionally, we also use AWS SES and EC2.

Co-President of the CyberPatriot club at Santa Teresa High School. CyberPatriot is a program run by the Air Force Association. This club competes in the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, as well as other cybersecurity competitions. I train club members in Linux, networking and Windows skills as well as organize meetings and create lesson plans. I also participated in these challenges. Both teams in the club reached the Platinum Tier.

Santa Teresa High School

Lead the Santa Teresa Computer Science Club by teaching students how to program in Python and C. I also teach some elements of cybersecurity (SQL injection and port scanning). I also organize the club to attend hackathons and coding competitions.

Mountain View

Intern at GeneLab for High School (GL4HS), a summer program where students reseach topics related to bioinformatics and computational biology, and apply this knowledge to write a research proposal. GeneLab focuses mainly on space biology, especially the effects of spaceflight on the human body.

Ooty, India

I ported a web app from Resin to Spring Boot. I worked with Kubernetes and Docker to deploy and manage the app. In addition, I used JPA and MySQL for database connectivity. The Web interface was coded using Java Server Pages and Javascript.https://www.fileright.com/
