I like AI grounded in fundamentals. Built a transformer from scratch before touching agent frameworks, and lately I care more about the applied side: ML that ships inside something real, adapted for the job, and built to feel like part of the experience.
Incoming AI/ML Software Engineering Intern at Tatari (Summer 2026). Joining the Media Intelligence team to build AI/ML systems for automated media planning, audience targeting, and predictive measurement across linear and streaming TV.
AI Trainer, ML Specialist at Handshake AI (Frontier-Lab AI Fellowship) | AI Product Tester at DeepLearning.AI - dogfooding pre-release AI products and course content.
Still seeking AI/ML and software engineering internships and new grad roles for Fall 2026 and beyond. Feel free to reach out!

I teach as an Islamic Studies Instructor at Institute of Knowledge. Teaching has directly improved how I work as an engineer: you can't really explain a concept to a student until you understand it yourself, and the same goes for code. When I'm not coding or teaching, I'm probably grabbing boba with friends, skating around campus, building a LEGO set, getting lost in a good book, or gaming cozily (Pokopia is my jam!).
