CV
My research broadly covers high performance software systems, from datacenter congestion control to protocols for hybrid packet/circuit networks and efficient ML inference on resource-constrained devices.
Summer 2021: I worked on microburst congestion control for datacenters with Facebook's Systems & Infrastructure Host Networking team.
Fall 2021: I am an instructor for CMU's 15-441/641 Networking and the Internet course. Please reach out to me with questions about the course.
From 2016-2019, I was a lead student in the Intel Science and Technology Center for Visual Cloud Systems, where I worked under the guidance of Professor Dave Andersen and Michael Kaminsky. From 2014-2016, I built big data analytics systems with Kay Ousterhout and Professors Sylvia Ratnasamy and Scott Shenker in the NetSys Lab. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2015.
I am from San Diego, CA.
