// ABOUT_ME

I build AI that runs in your pocket, not the cloud. As a student at Purdue University, I focus on Edge AI and autonomous agents because I believe privacy and latency shouldn't be afterthoughts. When I'm not optimizing inference for mobile, I'm usually breaking things in ROS or tinkering with AR.


My research sits at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and real-time systemsβ€”the kind of work where milliseconds matter and the model has to fit on the device.
