Medical Student
Drexel University College of Medicine

I am a research engineer specializing in neuroinnovations with a strong focus on applying machine
learning to solve complex medical challenges. My academic journey began with an undergraduate
degree in computer science, during which I delved into computational biology and contributed to
publications on deep neural networks in genomics. Following my time at UC Berkeley, I honed my AI
skills at Waymo, Google's self-driving car project, where I worked on enhancing autonomous vehicle
technology.
Currently, I'm pursuing a medical degree at Drexel University College of Medicine, bridging my
technical background with a deep commitment to advancing healthcare. My career has been defined
by a passion for innovation at the intersection of technology and medicine, and I am dedicated to
creating impactful solutions for the field of healthcare.
