I work on computer use and tool use agents at Theta, building RL infra and researching RL envs.

Before, I was a Machine Learning Engineer Intern at Amazon AGI on the inference team, working on evals and optimized tool use for Nova Sonic.

I also contribute to SGLang and Harbor.

I like to build toward problems.
