About

I am a research scientist with the Machine Learning Research group at Apple. I work on dataset design. I have been fortunate to be a part of the DataComp, ImageNetV2, and OpenCLIP projects.

Previously, I spent 9 wonderful years at UC Berkeley and had the pleasure of working with Ben Recht, Ludwig Schmidt, Eric Jonas, Shivaram Venkataraman, and many others.
