# about_me

Welcome! I'm currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara, focusing on applications in AI and ML.

I'm especially passionate about Computer Vision in robotics and am currently researching 3D Reconstruction and Depth Estimation at the UCSB Four Eyes Lab

Over the past three years, I've had the opportunity to work at ServiceNow as a software engineer, most recently enhancing their search engine with multimodal features.
