Hi!
I am a 3rd year PhD Student in Computer Science at University of California, Irvine, advised by Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi. Prior, I completed my B.S in Computer Science at Texas A&M University, where I had the pleasure to work with James Caverlee. I am broadly interested in developing machine learning solutions for computer networks and systems, working to address performance, explainability and safety. I also love coffee and hiking tall mountains near the ocean.
