The Stanford Daily is the independent, student-run newspaper of Stanford University.
The Daily strives to serve the Stanford community with relevant, unbiased journalism and provides its editorial, tech and business staffs with unparalleled educational opportunities.
As the Data Director, I oversee data section recruitment, training, project management, and associated institutional knowledge.

Veteran Affairs
2023 - 2024
The Department of Veteran Affair's Program Evaluation and Resource Center (PERC) provides program evaluation and technical assistance for mental health quality improvement efforts across the Veteran's Health Administration.
Our objective is to develop an approach for categorizing narrative content about mental health concepts into operationally relevant categories.

CTL Tutor
Stanford CTL
2023
CTL provides free subject tutoring with peers who are specially trained to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in their classes.
As a Mathematics Appointment Tutor, I work with student peers taking MATH 19, 20, 21, 51, 52, and 53 to help them master the skills needed to succeed on their own by coaching rather than providing answers.
SUMO Tutor
Stanford SUMO
2023
SUMO works with the Stanford math department to provide peer tutoring services for a number of introductory math classes, specifically MATH 19, 20, 21, 51, 52, 53, and 104.
As a peer tutor, I answered any questions students had about the material and homework in these classes.
Machine unlearning, the ability for a model to “forget" a subset of its training data, may help eliminate biases and safeguard user privacy.
We propose a student-teacher unlearning framework that rewards similarity on a retain set and penalizes similarity on a forget set.
Computational Geometry is a branch of computer science dedicated to the study of algorithms which can be stated in geometric terms.
I wrote efficient ports of QuickHull and PolyLabel in NumPy.
The QuickHull Algorithm extends to arbitary dimensions and has 2D/3D visualization support.
The PolyLabel Algorithm extends to any complex polygon.
Contributed as ConvexHull and LabeledPolygram for
ManimCE,
an open source graphics software with over 20K GitHub Stars.
Understanding the relationship between courses is of great importance to a University's educational mission.
We employ a range of supervised and unsupervised methods to understand and ultimately and inform the Stanford educational structure.
Contributed as Prerequisite Tree feature for
OnCourse,
a course-planning startup with over 5,000 users.
The challenge involves creating a probability driven project of ones choosing that highlights concepts from the class and does something interesting.

Communication
At heart, I am an explainer and entertainer.
I have posted hundreds of solutions on r/LearnMath under a burner account.
I have composed essays on a variety of topics ranging from AI powered disinformation to religious architecture.
I have blogged about my projects and interests over the years.
I run
Lyte Lectures,
a 1.5K strong YouTube channel that seeks to communicate ideas with an accessible approach and artful style.
