Field notes
* Self-reported. Fueled by iced tea and deadline pressure.
First-year AI major at UCSD drawn to the mathematical and conceptual sides of CS. Where I want to take that is Healthcare AI, specifically applying it to Cognitive Behavioral Neuroscience. I'm passionate about building things that genuinely help people and give back to the communities around me.
Right now I'm applying RLHF to evaluate AI generation, improving competition robotics autonomy, and exploring image segmentation for disasters. Outside of building, I mentor student developers through ACM and present workshops with digestible information about technology/AI.
Always an iced tea nearby. Always a problem worth solving. :)
