I work with the door open. I’ll update this site with every little project and research tangent, hopefully giving those who want to work with me a sort of live transcript to go off of.

Please talk to Jaden-Bot! It’s on the bottom-right corner, and knows a lot about me. If you want to work with me, call or text: (385) 327-2503

• An internship building document understanding for life science methods documents.

I really just want to work on new AI models.
