I'm a Seattle based GenAI Team Lead, and graduated from University of Washington with a Master's Degree in Applied and Computational Mathematics!

In my free time, you can catch me playing competitive video games and creating data sets as a community manager! Watching some English football wouldn't go amiss either :D
