πŸš€ About Me

"Writes code so the robots behave; rides bikes so he remembers he's squishy; riffs on guitar so he knows he's neither AI nor Achilles."

I'm a Master's in Computer Science student with a passion for making AI systems more interpretable and trustworthy. Currently serving as President of NEURAI Lab at Northeastern University, where we're pushing the boundaries of AI research through interdisciplinary innovation.

πŸ”¬ Current Focus Areas

  • 🧠 Mechanistic Interpretability & XAI Safety - Reverse engineering how AI systems actually work
  • πŸ“ˆ Quantitative Finance - Building retail quant strategies using Reinforcement Learning
  • 🀝 Community Building - Hosting Bay Area interpretability workshops

🎯 Research & Leadership

πŸ›οΈ NEURAI Lab - President

Northeastern University's Research in AI

Leading interdisciplinary AI research initiatives focused on:

  • Explainable AI: Making artificial minds more transparent
  • AI in Healthcare: Enhancing nurse training simulations
  • AI for Accessibility: Improving audio descriptions for visually impaired users
  • Autonomous Systems: Wildlife-safe drone technology
  • Traffic Modeling: Advanced particle-based car representation

Recent Highlights:

  • Won 2025 Silicon Valley Rising Star Award

πŸ”¬ Research & Development Focus

Much of my work is conducted through institutional collaborations and research initiatives

  • AI Safety Research - Mechanistic interpretability studies (primarily private/institutional repos)
  • Quantitative Finance Models - RL-based trading strategies and risk management systems
  • NEURAI Lab Projects - Collaborative research in explainable AI and healthcare applications
  • Workshop Materials - Bay Area interpretability meetup resources and educational content

Public repositories are selectively curated - most active development occurs in research environments

🎸 Beyond Code

When I'm not debugging neural networks or building trading algorithms, you'll find me:

  • 🎸 Riffing on guitar - Keeping the creative side alive
  • 🏍️ Riding my Ducati - Embracing the thrill of the open road
  • 🚴 Cycling - Staying grounded and remembering I'm human
  • 🀝 Organizing workshops - Sharing knowledge with the AI interpretability community

🌟 Let's Connect!

I'm always excited to discuss:

  • AI Safety & Interpretability
  • Quantum Machine Learning applications
  • Quantitative trading strategies
  • Research collaborations
  • Or just chat about guitars and motorcycles! 🎸🏍️
