Hi, I'm Jeffrey.

_
I'm a junior at MIT studying computer science and engineering. I'm currently a machine learning researcher at CSAIL and the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences, conducting hyperparameter optimization by analyzing how learning rates affect neural network convergence, validating recent theory through large-scale PyTorch experiments.

I previously interned 2x at Amazon Web Services, working on serverless containers with the Fargate Placement team, and am a part-time developer at Vibrantec, a startup building a cross-platform health and wellness app.

I build side projects focused on automation tools and have experience with the full product development cycle. I'm passionate about AI automation -- using agents to streamline complex workflows and eliminate repetitive tasks. I've built automated agents using LangChain and worked on robotic automation at the MIT Media Lab.

I serve as an advisor to The Silicon Project, a nonprofit donating electronics to underserved communities, where I previously led the IT department. Before transitioning to software, I researched molecular pharmacology at the Grimm Lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, investigating statin-based approaches to improve nanomedicine delivery for cancer treatment.

Outside of tech, I'm passionate about working out, meal prep, movies, reading, basketball, and hiking.

Below are some projects I've worked on over the years. Hover over project images for live demos and over project details for more information.

3D Animation of Cancer

A fully animated project created in Autodesk Maya and edited in Adobe Premiere. All 3D models were built and rendered in Maya, with Python scripts used to automate repetitive tasks like randomizing DNA helix and cell positions. Created as a final project for MITES Semester 2023.
