I am currently a Research Software Engineer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), the birthplace of the Mosaic Browser. I am part of the Data Analytics team. I work with researchers and industry partners to implement and deploy AI and ML researches into practical settings. I also provide software architectures and trainings for the use of high performance computing systems.In my free times, advice non-profits and startups related to AGI research as part of my interest towards safe development of AGI researches and progresses.

Formal education wise, I pursued M.S in Industrial Engineering in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My formal concentration for the program was in advanced analytics and operations research. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the program, my coursework was heavy on AI and ML on the engineering side, along with few courses from the Finance and Economic department.Before that, I pursued my Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I focused more on process management and operations research for my undergrad.
