Hi There👋

I’m an incoming PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, where I will be working with Prof. Tianqi Chen and Prof. Eric Xing at CMU Catalyst. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Washington, Seattle, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Luis Ceze and mentored by Dr. Zihao Ye.

My research focuses on building efficient AI systems and creating AI-driven workflows that continuously optimize these systems.
