I am currently working at [Hugging Face](https://hf.co) as a Machine Learning Engineer. I have been there {years_at_hf} years and {months_at_hf} months as a member of the monetization team. I have helped companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Grammarly, Optum, Writer, Uber, and Liberty Mutual improve their machine learning capabilities. 

Prior to working at Hugging Face, I was a data scientist at GSK, where I created a search engine to make it easier to understand Medical Voice of Customer data (what the clinicians who use the products think of them).


I believe in being transparent about my work journey, so I will share more than most people typically do. Here is all of my work experience since I was 16.


* Machine Learning Engineer @ [Hugging Face](https://hf.co) (2021 - Present)
    * Member of the success team within the monetization team.
    * Helping enterprises and startups improve their machine learning capabilities. 
        * This involves teaching how to use Hugging Face libraries such as transformers, accelerate, datasets, peft, trl, and diffusers.
        * Typical use cases:
            * Fine-tuning a model on a custom dataset.
            * Serving fine-tuned models (both LLM and non-LLMs).
            * Pre-training from scratch.
            * RAG using LLMs and embeddings.
            * Document understanding using vision-language models.
            * Curating a high-quality instruction dataset.
    * Manage relations with ~$2M worth of customers. 
    * Most senior member of post-sales MLE team.
    * Hired 5 other team mebers.
    * Author on [BLOOM paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2211.05100) for minor help with datasets.
* Data Scientist @ GSK (2020 - 2021)
    * Created a search engine to make it easier to understand what clinicians think of the products.
* Data Science Fellowship @ SharpestMinds (2019 - 2020)
    * Fellowship is a generous term. It was a 3-month bootcamp where I taught myself all about data science and machine learning while being mentored by an industry professional.
* High School / Middle School Tutor @ AJ Tutoring (2018 - 2019)
    * Shared my love for physics, math, and chemistry with students in the Bay Area.
    * I even worked with the daughter of Google's CEO. 
    * One of my students was in [the scandal where parents paid to get their kids into college](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varsity_Blues_scandal).
* Dog Walker (2017-2019)
    * I ran with my neighbors dog 3 times a week for 3 years.
    * We did over 2000 miles together.
* Image Sensor Intern @ ON Semiconductor (2017)
    * Quit after 5 weeks because it was a waste of my time. Unrealistic expectations, no guidance, and not much learning.
* Research Assistant Internship @ Stanford University (2016)
    * Worked on thermionic energy harvesters.
    * Spent too much time in the cleanroom alone at odd hours around dangerous chemicals and tools.
* Financial Manager @ [Muwekma Tah-Ruk House](https://nacc.stanford.edu/our-community/muwekma-tah-ruk-native-theme-house) (2015-2016)
    * Budgeted $100k for 35 students in the house for food and events.
* Research Internship @ Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (2015)
    * Fabrication of implantable neural devices.
* Research Internship @ Stanford University (2014)  
    * Fabricating sensors that work in extreme environments.
    * Worked with graphene, high bandgap semiconductors, and cool equipment like scanning electron microscopes and x-ray diffraction.
    * Co-author on 2 papers:
        * [Irradiation effects of graphene-enhanced gallium nitride (GaN) metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) ultraviolet photodetectors](https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/9491/949107/Irradiation-effects-of-graphene-enhanced-gallium-nitride-GaN-metal-semiconductor/10.1117/12.2178091.short), 
        * [Impact of gamma irradiation on GaN/sapphire surface acoustic wave resonators](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/6932293)
* Admin Assistant @ Stanford Graduate School of Education (2014)
    * Did various small tasks to help the school run smoothly.
* Research Internship @ Stanford University (2013)
    * Worked on helping underrepresented students start learning Computer Science.
* Soccer Coach @ Los Gatos Soccer (2010-2012)
    * Coached soccer basics for kids during the summer.
"""

volunteering = """All of my volunteering is tutoring.

* [Lucile Packard Children's Hospital](https://med.stanford.edu/phm/clinical/lpch.html) (2013 - 2014)
    * Tutored kids who had been in the hospital for a long time.
* [East Palo Alto Tennis and Tutoring](https://www.epatt.org/) (2019)
    * Tutored high school students in math and science.
* [Student U](https://studentudurham.org/) (2019-2020)

education = """
* Coterminal M.S. in Electrical Engineering @ Stanford University (2016-2018)
    * Did not graduate.
    * Decided that I wasn't interested in the classes I was taking (physics, analog devices, signal processing, networks).
    * I was also sick of doing research in a cleanroom.
* B.S. in Electrical Engineering @ Stanford University (2012-2016)
    * Focus on semiconductor device physics.
* Los Gatos High School (2008-2012)

hobbies = """My main hobbies are going on walks with my dog, playing soccer, doing [Kaggle competitions](https://www.kaggle.com/nbroad), reading, [photography](https://flickr.com/photos/131470140@N06/), and taiko. This last one, taiko, is probably the most interesting, though I am on a bit of a hiatus. I played taiko for 12 years, starting with [San Jose Junior Taiko](https://www.taikoconservatory.org/juniortaiko) and continuing with [Stanford Taiko](https://taiko.stanford.edu/). Here is a video of me performing in Stanford's Bing Concert Hall.
