About Me

Concentration in AI & Decision Making. Minoring in Economics. Relevant coursework includes Machine Learning, Algorithms, Statistics/Inference, Micro/Macroeconomics, and Multivariable Calculus.

General Studies with focus on Physics, Computer Science, and Engineering.

Enhanced Vivaria, METR's platform for AI agent evaluation research. Developed CLI tooling including project templates, installation scripts, a Homebrew installer, and improved documentation to streamline developer workflow. Designed Python-based unified installation system replacing legacy shell scripts, improving reliability and maintainability while adhering to project standards. Created comprehensive testing suites and technical documentation. METR is a non-profit working with the UK and US governments and AI labs to empirically assess the risks and capabilities of transformative AI.

MantisAI is a Django-based data visualization platform leveraging LLMs to transform textual and traditional data into interactive maps. Architected CI/CD pipelines using GitHub actions, PyTests, Docker, Bash Scripts, Quality Control Tools, secrets management, and Dev and Production branch controls with direct deployment to AWS. Led project-wide Code, Project, and Documentation (Notion, Technical, and Onboarding) Refactors and a PostgreSQL database migration. Contributed ideas during team meetings and created demo videos. Used NetworkX to add a customizable graph-based interface for users to view new connections in their data. Led the initiative to squash security vulnerabilities in our workflow.

Designed and implemented a technique for language models to identify diverse prompts that result in bad responses (text that contains violence, explicit imagery, false information, etc.) Contributing ideas in team discussion, training and selecting models for our technique's pipeline, and communicating our findings through diagramming software and academic writing. This project is an extension of the Red Teaming Language Models with Language Models paper.

Managed office environment, logistics, and 20 workstations for ~200 members. Developed MopMan (My Operations Management) software using AirTable and custom automations, reducing operational workload by 10 hours weekly while improving program quality. Led office relocation project, identifying a facility that halved expenses while maintaining quality. Designed a collaborative workspace that enhanced member interaction and productivity. Oversaw AWS resources for MAIA and HAIST, supporting advanced research including fine-tuning and training large language models.

Implemented contribution form web page for workshop submissions using React.js, SASS, and MongoDB. Created WhatsApp messaging interface providing workshop information via text using Twilio and Next.js webhooks. Developed script to compress MongoDB image sizes, greatly improving load times. Helped bring the Living Heritage Atlas | Beirut project to completion on extremely short notice.

Managed a team of three first-year programmers in programming a 125lb robot in Python and later oversaw the administrative parts of 20-person team: fundraising, workshops, meetings, and design (CAD) and construction of the robot. Doubled team membership.

Founded a single-person (limited liability) company offering personal computer solutions from home theater to computer repair. Provided specialty in-home service to around two dozen clients. Developed branding, marketed to the local area, and created a website for the company.

Connected students with impactful careers and raised awareness on the world's most neglected issues. Gave presentations, managed office, and devised, advertised, and executed educational and philosophical programs and reading groups. Responsible for four to twelve significantly altered career plans.

Selected to present research on AI safety at a congressional exhibition.

Completed intensive training program on AI safety fundamentals.

Multiple awards in high school and collegiate programming competitions.
