[ Research ]

I am a Master's student in Computer Engineering at NYU and Research Assistant at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where I fine-tune medical vision-language models (MedGemma, MedSigLIP) on 50,000+ skin lesion images for smartphone-based mpox detection — 92% accuracy — advised by Dr. Megan Coffee.

At mLab, I work on data labeling infrastructure for healthcare ML using passive network traffic analysis to detect Alzheimer's disease, advised by Dr. Danny Huang.

[ Now ]

I build products, ship fast, and iterate with users. Currently building Nidra — a training optimization tool aggregating Whoop, Apple Health, and network activity data. Obsessed with extracting maximum performance in software engineering and athletics alike.
