Hi, I’m Daniel 🐑

Chasing AGI with Agency and Multimodal Understanding.

Machine Learning Engineering Intern at SHEIN; incoming M.S. student in ECE at Carnegie Mellon.

I explore two frontiers:

  • Building efficient, agentic, and multimodally intelligent models
  • Designing scalable multi-agent systems for complex real-world tasks

Interests

  • AI agents, multi-agent systems, and agent infrastructure
  • Multimodal AI across text, images, graphs, and voice
  • RAG, data pipelines, retrieval systems, and databases
  • AI for healthcare/finance, software engineering, and high-stakes domains
