~/about

I am a recent CS graduate from UCLA. I spent a good deal of my undergrad building things, researching, and tinkering. Currently, I am interested in physics simulations using deep learning and memory architectures. I am an Ethiopian American, play the guitar, and I believe we are at an incredible inflection point in human history.
