About

Hey everyone!
I am an Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services (AWS) AI, where I work on agentic systems.
I received my M.S. in Computer Science from UC San Diego, where I was a member of the Existential Robotics Lab, advised by Prof. Nikolay Atanasov.
Before that, I earned my B.S. in Computer Science (minor in Statistics) from Arizona State University, where I did research with Prof. Suren Jayasuriya and Prof. Kookjin Lee.

My research focuses on intelligent systems that can reason and act over long horizons, both as LLM-based agents in digital environments and as robots in the physical world. My long-term goal is to build agents that can perceive their surroundings, remember what matters, plan multi-step actions, and adapt on the fly to bridge the gap between high-level reasoning and low-level execution.

My core research areas include:

Outside of work I enjoy playing soccer ⚽️, tennis 🎾, brewing coffee ☕️, and cooking 🍽️.
