I research how neural networks represent knowledge, build organizations from the ground up, and write about what I find.
See the work ↓I'm sixteen, based in Sacramento, and I spend most of my time on problems at the edge of machine learning research. Right now, I'm working on sparse autoencoder interpretability with Algoverse — trying to figure out how large language models actually encode what they know. That work has led to paper submissions at NeurIPS and AAAI, which is unusual for someone still in high school.
Outside the lab, I run Cavaliers & Co. (a student apparel brand I started), manage business operations for my school's news organization, and compete in mock trial at the state level. I like building things that require figuring out how they should work.
