Summary | With over four years of experience in the tech industry, I am a passionate and versatile software engineer and researcher, pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at The University of Georgia. My main focus is on the intersection of computer vision and natural language processing, where I aim to develop multimodal machine learning models that can understand and generate content from different data types, such as text, images, audio, and video. As a teaching assistant at UGA, I mentor and assist undergraduate students in various computer science courses, such as algorithm analysis, data structures, and programming languages. As a software engineer cadet at 42 Silicon Valley, I work on challenging and innovative projects, such as building a web application with Java and Spring Boot, or designing a robot-human collaboration system with ROS and TensorFlow. I have also acquired multiple skills and certifications in web development, application security, and problem solving, as well as recognition for my leadership and diversity efforts in the tech community |

2025.02.12 Adaptive Quantile Guidance in Diffusion Models: Multi-Dataset Learning for Pandemic Time Series
• Developed AQDiff, a diffusion-based framework for epidemiological forecasting, leveraging multi-dataset pre-training (CDC influenza, COVID-19, RSV) and adaptive quantile guidance to dynamically adjust prediction intervals. Achieved 73.3% lower MAE than state-of-the-art models (CSDI, PatchTST) across pandemic scenarios. • Introduced real-time error feedback via exponentially weighted residual statistics, enhancing volatility adaptation with <10% computational overhead. Demonstrated robustness in sparse data methods and statistically significant improvements during outbreak surges.

Factor-Social
Factor is a university social platform specifically built to help university students connect with one another and seamlessly integrate into campus life. We address a common challenge in higher education: students desire more meaningful connections with peers who share similar interests with them. They also wish to find relevant events on campus which they might even attend together. Factor solves this by creating a central, university-branded hub where students can discover clubs, form groups, and easily interact with classmates and campus resources
