I'm a researcher and developer at Carnegie Mellon University,currently working in the R-PAD Lab (Robot Perceiving and Doing) at CMU's Robotics Institute — at the intersection of Vision-Language Models and Embodied AI, building systems that don't just see the world, but reason through it to complete complex tasks.
Outside the lab, I apply ML to quantitative finance (Kalshi prediction markets, weather derivatives)
and push the limits in competitive hackathons.
🏢 prev @SoloTech — built Speech-to-ROS2 pipelines bridging natural language to real-time robot control.
