I currently work as a Data Scientist, researching and developing machine learning models for NLP and tabular data. Before this, I received my PhD from UIUC under Kevin Ford and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford and CRM under Ben Green and Andrew Granville, respectively.  As a mathematician, I worked to understand structure and randomness in discrete structures. My papers and preprints can be found on my website.
