What I'm Looking For
Graduating June 2027 and considering new-grad roles where rigorous modelling meets real products. This page is the short version of what's useful to know before reaching out.
Graduating
June 2027
BS Data Science · Minor: Entrepreneurship & Innovation · UCSD
Start Date
Summer 2027 onward
Flexible — happy to discuss earlier for part-time bridge roles.
Location
SF Bay · NYC · San Diego · Remote
Open to relocation for the right team.
Work Authorization
F-1 international student
F-1 OPT (with STEM extension) covers the first three years. Would need H-1B sponsorship thereafter.
Currently
Triton Quantitative Trading · Digital Platform Lead @ Gondilal Saraf
Quant research at UCSD, and running the full-stack platform for my family's 150-year jewelry business.
Roles I'm excited about
- Applied Scientist / ML Engineer
- Data Scientist (generalist or infra-leaning)
- Software Engineer on data or ML platforms
- Founding or early engineer at seed → Series A
What draws me in
- Problems where models actually ship to production users — not research for research
- Applied ML systems: recommender systems, time-series, graph-theoretic methods
- Domains I care about: health, commerce, developer tooling, infrastructure
- Small teams over big-corp rotational programs
Probably not a fit
- Crypto / gambling-adjacent products
- Roles that are 95% dashboarding with no modelling
Easiest ways to reach me
Any of these work. A short note about the role and what drew you to reach out goes further than a cold template.
Before the call
