Biography

I am currently a senior studying Computer Science at New York University, Tandon School of Engineering. I am passionate about building scalable, user-friendly applications that solve real-world problems. I am currently looking for a software engineering internship for the summer of 2025.

During My Free Time:

  • I am fine-tuning distilled reasoning models on HuggingFace, such as DeepSeek and Llama, by leveraging task-specific datasets to enchance their accuracy on targeted reasoning tasks using cloud computing.
  • I also quantize distilled reasoning models to GGUF and MLX formats, optimizing performance on Apple Silicon devices and low-resource devices. Available for public download on HuggingFace.
