About Me

I am deeply interested in Generative Computer Vision and Audio for its potential to build an intelligence that can fundamentally understand, model, manipulate, and create within the world around us. I am fascinated by both the elegant mathematical structures and powerful systems that have emerged over the years. I hope to contribute meaningfully to the extraordinary wave of technological change now unfolding and, over the course of my career, to help shape the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Outside of my work, I enjoy watching anime; reading manga, web novels, xianxia (δ»™δΎ ), wuxia (ζ­¦δΎ ), and Wikipedia articles; playing chess and video games; and investing.
