ABOUT
I am interested in how machine learning methods can be leveraged to effect positive change in the world, and especially interested in ensuring that those methods are fair and unbiased.
Currently I am researching the integration of state-of-the-art large language models into the New York Times' reporting and products.
I like discovering new favorite books, the feeling of take-off on an international flight, and being active outdoors.
I am happiest when I am learning something new.
