My primary ambition is to complete my Columbia University Master’s degree in Computer Science by age 21, further deepening my expertise in agentic AI. I aim to scale pioneering research projects globally, democratizing open-source AI agents and crowdsourced AI evaluations beyond Silicon Valley. I am actively continuing my research and exploring collaborations with industry leaders to incentivize user participation in evaluations, ultimately improving baseline models. Additionally, I am exploring opportunities in social entrepreneurship, applying agentic AI solutions across diverse fields. Leveraging the Masason Foundation’s resources and community, I plan to accelerate innovation and foster impactful collaborations in energy sustainability, small business operations, and supply chain.
