In today's circumstances, it is difficult to plan for 5 years, given that AI is changing the nature of jobs. But still, for the coming year I want to proceed to see myself as an expert in AI/ML from a business technology perspective. I also want to dive deep and see how much I can learn from an academic perspective. From there, I want to be an AI evangelist in the company, moving into internal AI advocacy identifying existing and future usecases I can optimise with AI. Then may be move into a larger AI advocacy role, where I can showcase our achievements in AI and make our company an optimum casestudy for AI.

I see myself working at the intersection of engineering and quantitative finance ideally at a hedge fund such as Two Sigma. My past experiences at Harvard Medical School and internships at MITRE/rapStudy have given me an interest in creating scalable systems that are high performant and capable of ingesting large amounts of data for model development and research.  I strongly believe Two Sigma is the perfect place for me to work on these highly technical projects. Additionally, I also look forward to the prospect of entering leadership roles during my career, where I can play a more impactful role in prioritizing cultivation of engineering talent and projects in fields such as low-latency and data engineering.
