I work on optimizing LLM training and inference performance for Trainium at Annapurna Labs (Amazon). 

Previously I was building network infrastructure at Google Cloud. I got my Master’s degree in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University and my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer AI/ML @ Annapurna Labs
Jan 2024 – Present | Cupertino, CA
Full-stack performance engineer

Rooflines, distributed training, kernels, model enablement

### Software Engineer III @ Google
Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Sunnyvale, California, United States
Building Smart Network Interface Card (NIC) resource management software.

### Research Assistant @ Carnegie Mellon University
Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Worked With Dr. Katerina Fragkiadaki on computer vision and machine learning.
Developed models with spatial representations for applications in bird's eye view (BEV) semantic segmentation in self-driving. 
Developed models with temporal representations for appliactions in point tracking robust to occlusions.

### Research Assistant @ University of Notre Dame
Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Notre Dame
Worked in Iris group with Dr. Adam Czajka and Dr. Kevin W. Bowyer.
Designed a robust iris presentation attack detection method; employed photometric stereo based on the difference of reconstructed 3D normal vectors of irises with and without textured contact lens (WACV2019)
Designed a fusion method for iris presentation attack detection by fusing 2D (textural) and 3D (shape) information, based on the observation of complementary performance of 2D and 3D methods. We achieve state of the art on iris PAD task. (IEEE T-IFS 2020)
Developed an open-source hardware and software system for iris segmentation, recognition, and presentation attack detection. Implemented automated multi-illumination iris image collection, presentation attack detection model, and interactive user interface (IJCB2020)
Organized the LivDet-Iris 2020 competition for iris liveness detection (IJCB 2020)
Wrote a survey on the present state-of-the-art iris presentation attack detections (PRL 2020)

### Research Assistant @ University of Notre Dame
Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Notre Dame
Worked with Dr. Anthony J. Hoffman’s group.
Investigated the optical properties of candidate phononic materials.
Conducted interdisciplinary research across materials and optical science.

### Research Assistant @ Carnegie Mellon University
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Worked with Dr. David Held on generic 6-DoF object pose estimation for completely unseen objects in the wild.
Collaborated remotely with Dr. Hang Zhao to reformulate the audio-visual alignment problem and proposed an end-to-end trainable unifying solution for multiple tasks including dance-music alignment and speech-lip synchronization.
