Building privacy-preserving AI systems

I'm a Master's student at Penn Engineering passionate about building at the intersection of AI, systems, and real-world impact. My research background in privacy-preserving ML and federated learning gives me a unique lens. I care deeply about building AI that's not just powerful, but trustworthy.

My experience spans data analytics, full-stack and production-grade software development, and applied ML research. From shipping real systems at JPMorganChase to publishing federated learning work at IEEE conferences. I thrive in fast-paced environments, love tackling hard problems and am at my best when moving quickly from idea to working product.

Right now, I'm actively looking for Summer 2026 internships in AI/ML engineering, applied research, or full-stack roles. I'm also genuinely excited to connect with founders and builders whether you're early-stage or just exploring an idea, I'd love to collaborate on something ambitious.
