Experience & Activities

Research, analytics, and teaching — the working record behind the research agenda: algorithms that became a publication, machine learning in climate science, and four years of making logic click for other people.

Data Analytics & Research Intern

International Sibling Society · Las Vegas, NV
Jun – Aug 2026

Designed scalable Python data-collection frameworks tracking user acquisition, engagement, retention, and platform performance for a nonprofit serving stakeholders in 190+ countries — then built the interactive dashboards and KPI systems that turn that telemetry into decisions, powering impact measurement, A/B experimentation, and strategy across product, research, and operations.

Research Assistant — Online Algorithms

Colby College · Waterville, ME
May – Aug 2024

Investigated dynamic pricing for the online set cover problem in the client–server model, where a server can only post prices rather than assign resources. Helped characterize which online algorithms can be mimicked by pricing schemes and analyze competitive efficiency — work that became the co-authored paper Dynamic Pricing Algorithms for Online Set Cover (arXiv:2409.15094).

Publication

Dynamic Pricing Algorithms for Online Set Cover

arXiv · 2409.15094 · 2024

We consider dynamic pricing algorithms as applied to the online set cover problem. In the dynamic pricing framework, we assume the standard client server model with the additional constraint that the server can only place prices over the resources they maintain, rather than authoritatively assign them. In response, incoming clients choose the resource which minimizes their disutility when taking into account these additional prices. Our main contributions are the categorization of online algorithms which can be mimicked via dynamic pricing algorithms and the identification of a strongly competitive deterministic algorithm with respect to the frequency parameter of the online set cover input.

Colby College · University of Oxford

Studying CS, Math and Philosophy. Drawn to the intersections — logic in algorithms, structure in proofs, meaning in computation. Outside of that: photography, cooking, and the occasional moment of doing nothing at all.
