I'm a recent Berkeley grad working at Pinterest. In the computer world I'm most excited by machine learning and natural language processing (especially of the bayesian and unsupervised variety), low-level performance tricks, and cool hacks.
In the real world, I love to cook and travel.
I'm happily employed, but here's my resume, just in case.
