Designed and shipped the core orchestration service with an LLM planner that compiles natural-language instructions into validated task graphs, dispatches capabilities over a real-time pub/sub message bus (DDS/ROS2), and handles failure detection at the orchestration layer. Built the stateful context service with interruptible task stack, persistent vector store for retrieval-augmented generation, and containerized testing. Achieved 80–90% success rates on locomotion and manipulation tasks."},{"name":"Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research","position":"Undergraduate Machine Learning Researcher","location":"Berkeley, CA","startDate":"2026-02-01","summary":"Third author on ICRA 2027 paper introducing a context-conditioned vision-language-action model that learns new tasks zero-shot from 1–2 demonstrations on a frozen foundation-model backbone. Implemented cross-attention conditioning and short-term memory modules in PyTorch; diagnosed and fixed a bf16 numerical overflow that reduced auxiliary loss from ~1.0 to ~0.009. Owns multi-GPU distributed training and architecture ablations on Berkeley's compute cluster and built automated benchmarking pipelines evaluating policies across simulation suites."},{"name":"Stealth Startup","position":"COO","startDate":"2026-01-01"},{"name":"breefly","position":"Co-Founder & Software Engineer","location":"Berkeley, CA","url":"https://breefly.org","startDate":"2025-08-01","endDate":"2026-03-01","summary":"Built and scaled a consumer web platform compressing long lectures into structured video.
