SWE @ Modern Treasury. Open to private messages about mentoring, college related, projects or anything else really.

I did my undergrad at UIUC with a major in Statistcs and Computer Science. I like full stack web development, human computer interaction, gaze based interaction, teaching programming, distributed systems, and making my work available to the public.

### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Urbana-Champaign Area
I worked with in team lead by one graduate student and 3 undergrad students while collaborating with the US Army Research Lab. I worked on the eye tracking aspect of the experiment (C#, Tobii 4c), replay systems (C# and Python) and paper writing.

The project was about complacency in human AI teaming using OpenAI's gym recurrent learning framework which could be applied in contexts like human drone collaboration. This lead to a paper published in SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing.

The second project was adding context awareness to AR based voice assistants, by allowing people to make queries like "What is the price of this?" or "What can I make with these?" and then taking visual input via a camera to understand. I worked on the writing and literature review sections of the paper.
