Work
Distributed Systems Intern @ Groq
Sep 2025 – Jan 2026
- Headhunted based on open-source work at tinytpu.com
- Optimized and deployed large-scale LLM inference pipelines using the compiler stack, focusing on throughput, latency, and KV-cache efficiency.
- Engineered a load-balancing algorithm to maximize KV-cache hit rates and reduce hotspots, resulting in measurable API throughput gains under production workloads.
R&D Engineer @ Opal Camera
Mar 2025 – Jun 2025
- Headhunted based on open-source work on OpenGhost, an aesthetic Pepper’s Ghost Display.
- Engineered low-latency computer vision and integrated multiple sensors to enable real-time multimodal interaction with custom AI models on edge devices.
Machine Learning Consultant @ Condominium Authority of Ontario
Jun 2023 - Aug 2023 | Dec 2023 - Jan 2024 | May 2024 - Aug 2024
- Enhancing categorization of survey responses and qualitative feedback analysis with natural language processing and text embeddings using Python.
- Wrote Python scripts to classify survey responses by modifying the BERT LLM text classifier using TensorFlow.
- Performed data cleaning and extraction of survey responses using Python and Pandas.
- Created interactive maps and statistics of all Condominium Corporations in Ontario using Python, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Excel.
Undergraduate Researcher @ Diller Microrobotics Lab
May 2024 - Aug 2024
- Received an NSERC Award to do research under the supervision of Prof. Eric Diller where I worked on designing instruments to enable bimanual magnetic control of microrobotic tools for surgery.
Undergraduate Researcher @ Free Appropriate Sustainable Technology Lab
Nov 2022 - May 2024
- Created a website to interface with an open-source microgrid optimization tool for solar energy.
- Designed a wireless protocol and web user interface aptly named Butter for an open-source data acquisition and automation device called BREAD, leading to a peer-reviewed paper publication in the Techologies Journal.
- Received a USRI Award for the Summer of 2023. Designed an open-source packing algorithm to tile as many building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) as possible on any arbitrarily shaped object or building. This involved the use of complex packing algorithms, computational geometry, Python, and Blender. Culminated in a first author peer-reviewed paper publication in the Designs Journal.
- Researched and developed a cheaper Recyclebot extruder that converts plastic pellets into 3D printer filament under the supervision of Dr. Joshua Pearce.
Research Assistant @ University Health Network
Jun 2021 - Sep 2022
- Designed and built a wireless voice-controlled 3D-printed syringe pump for developing countries in collaboration with an anesthesiologist.
- Made the hardware, coded the microprocessor controller, and developed the mobile app with React Native
