ABOUT

I'm a student at Trinity School in New York, Class of 2028. I play lead alto sax in Trinity's Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Messengers. I'm working on JazzML, a jazz solo generator, and Machine Literate, a site for learning about AI through experiments.

At Trinity, I lead the Investment Club, South Asian Affinity group (SAA), and Honor Council. Outside school, I teach AI literacy.

Machine Literate

AI LITERACY · IN DEVELOPMENT

I'm building a site where students learn about AI by making predictions and testing them. It has separate courses for grades 5–8 and 9–12, with 12 lessons each. I use AI agents to help build and test it. I haven't launched it yet.

JazzML

ONGOING ML RESEARCH

I'm experimenting with models that generate jazz solos using the Weimar Jazz Database. I use AI agents to help with the code and tests, and listen to the results myself. Right now, I'm working on rhythm and how the notes fit the chord changes. The audio on the project page is from an older version.

Experience

TEACHING / INTERNSHIP / CONTRIBUTIONS / SHADOWING
/ 01 · JULY–AUGUST 2026 · VOLUNTEER AI INSTRUCTOR

Breakthrough New York

I designed a four-week, eight-session responsible-AI curriculum for incoming ninth graders and taught sessions in the program. The lessons covered AI fundamentals, bias, evaluation, privacy, and responsible use.

/ 02 · SUMMER 2026 INTERNSHIP

CloudExtel

During my summer internship, I worked on draft business systems and an Excel workbook for evaluating partner performance. I organized KPIs, evidence, scoring, and corrective actions for sponsor discussion and pilot review, including how to handle missing data. The systems were still in the draft and pilot stages when I worked on them.

/ 03 · CONTRIBUTOR

Audemy

I contributed website and support work to Audemy, which makes audio games for blind and low-vision players. My website credit for the ElevenLabs Impact Program was merged into the preproduction site. I haven't confirmed whether it's live yet.
