Research

I'm interested in tackling problems at the intersection between programming languages and systems.

During my master's, I worked with Daan Leijen on prototyping an implementation of Perceus memory management for OCaml.

During my undergrad I was part of TINKER lab where I was advised by Prof. Thomas Conte and Dr. Jeff Young. While there, I wrote a space-efficient implementation of the quantum verification of matrix products (QVMP) algorithm.

Work Experience

I've interned on the Privacy Language Experience (PLeX) team and the PyTorch Dev Infra team at Meta, and the Innovation Lab at NCR.
