I'm a second-year at UC Berkeley, pursuing a degree in Computer Science and Cognitive Science. Currently, I'm working as a software engineering intern at the Penn Wharton Budget Model. I'm also researching machine translation through the MITRA Project at the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab. I serve as Executive Advisor (previously Executive Director) of Notelove, a nonprofit organization providing free music lessons to students across the US.

Survivor Machine Learning Winner Prediction

As a huge Survivor fan, I have always wondered whether it is possible to predict who will win! In this project, I utilized open-source Survivor data and a multivariate logistic regression model to predict which contestants would win Survivor.

Tools used: pandas, R, Scikit-learn

Personal Website

As part of the CS Kickstart program at UC Berkeley, I coded this personal website as part of my final project. Some of my favorite features include the typing carousel and background with floating squares.

Tools used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
