Welcome to my personal blog—this is where I originally set out to store my personal musings and day to day progress. This blog has seen several phases of my life. In 2022 to 2023, I worked on a Neo-backed startup with three of my good friends—we pivoted around many ideas, with a particularly heavy focus on what gen-AI could enable in the early days of GPT hype. From 2021 to 2022, I was an AI grad student at Stanford (eventually dropped out), and I did my undergrad in 3 years at Columbia (studied CS). During college, my interests/work experience primarily revolved around math and quant trading, but I found myself in the AI/startup space post-graduation. Post-startup, funnily enough, I found myself back in quant trading at Citadel Securities—first trading Block single stock options, then semisystematic options. Currently I’m on noncompete, and the rough plan is to spend an extended stretch of it fly fishing in Hokkaido.
