I’ve carved out this space to cultivate and grow my ideas. Here you’ll find islands of various interests I’ve gathered throughout the years. I somewhat adhere to Quartz’s philosophy for digital gardening as I tend my digital garden. Please, feel free to look around!
About Me
I’m currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), and a member of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL). I’m advised by Dr. Stephanie Valencia, where I research and build AI-powered computer-mediated communication technology for people with language impairments.
I’m mainly interested in creating stuff and seeing how people use stuff. Currently, I’m interested in Local LLMs, Human-AI Interaction, and AI-assisted Workflows. Below are other pockets in the internet that you can find me:
