Hi there! I'm a Data Science Master's graduate from Tufts, passionate about AI's theoretical and practical aspects. My expertise spans statistical learning, NLP, imaging, genetics, and medicine.
Since April 2023, I've worked at
Levin Lab
under
Dr. Hananel Hazan
, focusing on spiking neural networks for
BindsNET
, and large language models (LLMs).
I primarily work with React, React Native, JavaScript, and TypeScript for the front end, and use Next.js, Symfony, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB on the back end, deploying mainly on AWS and Vercel.
My goal is to seamlessly integrate my software development skills with AI to address real-world problems, making a meaningful difference through technology.
If you're passionate about philosophy, neuroscience, and computer science, and enjoy exploring topics like free will, consciousness, agency, intelligence, cognition, active inference, or the free energy principle, connect with me on LinkedIn.
