About

Right now I'm a Visiting Scholar at UPenn, and I previously completed a Data Engineering program at EPAM Systems, where I got to combine hands-on infrastructure work with applied ML research. Since 2023, I've also been working as a TA and Lecturer at SDU University, teaching programming courses and conducting research.
