Other

• I originally wanted to pursue a PhD and a career in academia, and published research at NeurIPS, ICLR, VLDB, and SIGMOD before dropping out of college. Somehow, my Erdos Number is 3. You can view all my publications on my Google Scholar.
• Growing up, I spent an unhealthy amount of time playing League of Legends competitively. I peaked at Diamond III (top 0.2% of players).
• I can watch anime without subtitles. Some of my favorites are Hunter x Hunter, Odd Taxi, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and Ousama Ranking.
• I had a previous life as a classically trained violinist. I still love listening to classical music. Some of my favorite pieces include Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 1 in F-sharp minor, Op. 14 and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35.
