Now
Where I'm at currently
In SF from May - August. Happy to meet people there!
Software engineering intern @ Datacurve AI, working on coding data for frontier model labs.
Research assistant @ Reading-to-Learn Lab (advisors: Zhiyuan Sun, Prof. Victor Zhong), working on World Composer—a hybrid symbolic-neural world model for long-horizon reinforcement learning. Implementing and testing baselines from WorldCoder and Dreamer across different environments.
Check out my reflections from my first term in Canada. Or, read about reflections from my past life from 2023, 2024 and my reflection on faith. Or, you could watch what I went through here (Basic Military Training) and here (Navy OCS, Midshipmen School).
