I'm an AI Research Engineer at <a href="https://teton.ai">Teton</a>, where we're building next-generation healthcare technology to support nurses and patients in hospitals and nursing homes.
Our work leverages computer vision and deep learning across several cutting-edge research areas: 3D reconstruction, human mesh recovery, action recognition, and visual-language models.
+ Since joining, I've worked primarily on forecasting for fall prediction and prevention which have resulted in a consistent fall rate reduction in trial sites.
+ My work was <a href="https://teton-website.fly.dev/blog/the-anatomy-of-2000-falls">highlighted</a> on the <a href="https://teton-website.fly.dev/blog/optimized-alarms">company blog</a>.
A lot of my work revoves around taking ill-defined business problems, understanding what the essential constraints and requirements are, and using data and statistical models to solve these problems under these constraints.

My academic interests are broad within machine learning, statistics: from deep learning and recommender engines to Bayesian inference to network science and forecasting.
I particularly enjoy the intersection of theory and practice, and spend much of my time coding and solving mathematical problems.
Beyond technical work, I'm passionate about science communication and how research intersects with society.
- Teaching and effectively communicating complex ideas is something I quite enjoy.

- Outside work, I like reading about history and paleontology.
- I try to make the most of life through continuous learning, spending time in nature, and appreciating beauty wherever I see it.
- You'll often find me coding on side projects, reading, watching films, listening to music, or experimenting in the kitchen.
