Hi there. I'm a backend software engineer at Spotify. I specialize in creating and testing algorithms that help us sequence sets (think "playlists") at Spotify. These algorithms allow Spotify to balance multiple objectives, serving listeners, artists, and Spotify, all at once. They've also enabled a $500M+ monthly revenue stream for the company. I enjoy working across disciplines, teams, and timezones. I always get down to the "why" behind any product I'm a part of. I'm always down to talk about interesting concepts and products :) I am also a first-generation college graduate, a child of an immigrant and an adoptee, and someone who grew up in deep poverty. I experienced housing and food instability most of my life and am recovering from CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). It was extremely disorienting to enter college always having to prove I was worthy of existing (iykyk) and to exit college being treated with dignity by greater society because of the job title I now hold. These experiences shaped who I am and how I see the world. But first and foremost, I'm always open and honored to speak with others who walk similar paths in life. It's hard enough out here *without* these types of experiences. Sending you love, support, and a listening ear.

I just finished my postdoc at Weill Cornell Medical School and New York Presbyterian Hospital, where I designed and built experimental setups to investigate the biomechanics of human coronary arteries under physiological conditions. I also developed in-vitro platforms for human coronary arteries using coronary CT angiograms and 3D-printing to non-invasively evaluate patient-specific coronary ischemia and fractional flow reserve measurements. I supervised, trained, and managed a team of physicians, engineers, and students. I have over 10 years of experience in fluid mechanics, biomechanics, computed tomography, magnetic resonance velocimetry, and medical devices research. I received my PhD in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where I performed particle image velocimetry and magnetic resonance velocimetry on 3D-printed lung models to better understand respiratory flows and drug delivery in the lungs. My interests include medical devices, public health, medical imaging, and cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
