[10/4/24] Our preprint “Interpreting and Editing Vision-Language Representations to Mitigate Hallucinations” is out! Here’s a summary.

I’m a current student at UC Berkeley studying CS and philosophy. I enjoy building things, writing, and exploring this vast world. I’m broadly interested in decoding how large language models learn and currently research hallucinations in vision-language models in the Darrell Group. I’m also a scout for Soma Capital - if you’re building something cool or know someone who is, reach out!

Professionally, I was a founding engineer at Brisk, where I helped build and scale an AI co-pilot for teachers from 1K → 100K users (130K ARR). I’ve also spent time working at Watershed on carbon data ingestion, Roblox on data infrastructure, and Thayermahan on autonomous maritime surveillance.

Within the Berkeley ecosystem, I have:

  • conducted NLP research to analyze how product managers implement “design thinking” methodology in their day-to-day
  • headed a client project with Recidiviz to improve sentencing outcome transparency for Codebase
  • sourced sponsorships for Cal Hacks, the world’s largest collegiate hackathon
  • taught web development at Cubstart, an introductory full-stack course

In my free time, I’m scootering and biking through cities, chilling in bookstores, and performing improv.
