About me

I'm a behavioral scientist with a background in psychology, quantitative research, and applied AI.

My work sits at the intersection of human behavior, data science, and decision systems.
I'm especially interested in learning, experimentation, model evaluation, and building tools that make analytical thinking practical.

What you'll find here:

  • behavioral data science projects
  • applied AI and LLM explorations
  • reproducible analysis workflows
  • research-driven technical work

What I work on

Behavioral data science

Designing experiments, structuring data, and translating behavioral questions into quantitative workflows.

Applied AI

Building Python-based AI workflows and exploring practical use cases for model evaluation, automation, and intelligent systems.

Decision systems

Working on problems around learning, sequential decisions, and the overlap between human cognition and computational models.


Selected work

📊 Published behavioral data pipeline

Built a Python-based workflow to collect, structure, and analyze video-level engagement data for behavioral research.

🧠 Sequential decision-making research

Worked on research comparing recurrent neural networks and human learners in restless bandit tasks.

📈 Bayesian behavioral modeling

Applying computational modeling in Python and Stan to learning and decision-making data.


Background

  • M.Sc. in Psychology
  • MIT Applied AI & Data Science Program
  • Published research in behavioral science
  • Research experience in experimental psychology, behavioral modeling, and decision-making

Currently exploring

  • LLM applications with real practical value
