I was born and raised in San Jose, CA. I double-majored in
Bioengineering and
Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS)
at Berkeley. I spent a year at an AI startup, and
then moved to Google's life sciences division
(now Verily) where I worked on
wearable health-monitoring devices. After five years, I left Google to study
medicine at the University of Michigan. There, I worked in the
Restorative Neuroengineering Group
with Dr. Parag Patil developing algorithms using Diffusion Tensor MRI
and electrical impedance measurements to enable high-resolution brain tissue
mapping and surgical navigation. I also worked in the
Knowledge Systems Lab
with Dr. Chuck Friedman, where I explored applications of LLMs to
Learning Health Systems
and built an LLM-powered chatbot to assist physicians with common clinical calculations.
I am now back in the Bay Area to pursue my residency in Internal Medicine at
Kaiser Permanente.
In my free time, I mostly just chill, but
I also enjoy hiking, reading nonfiction, and cooking South Indian food.
