Now

Below is a little bit of what I’m working on and doing now, updated every once in a while.

Professionally

After spending the last five years working with renewables, pricing, and energy efficiency data, I’ve been embracing a new role at the Tennessee Valley Authority. My new team focuses on analytics and AI strategy for the enterprise and takes on cutting-edge proofs of concept. A large focus for us now is generative AI (including constraints and governance), so I’ve been working on improving our enterprise CMS search using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), estimating project costs using FAISS and TF-IDF embeddings to retrieve similar projects, and piloting Microsoft Copilot.

Academically

This spring, I finished Computer Vision, my seventh semester of ten in my Master’s of Computer Science at Georgia Tech. The course focused most on traditional computer vision techniques, which complemented my existing experience with CNNs and machine learning methods for computer vision tasks. Over the summer, I’ll be taking a course in Natural Language Processing and a seminar in Agentic AI Essentials.

Personally

I’ve been trying to spend more of my free time reading this year. I’ve had an aversion to it (especially given how much reading is involved in grad school), but I was pleasantly surprised by how relaxing it has been. I’ve been slowly reading ‘A Game of Thrones,’ the first book in George R. R. Martin’s Ice and Fire Saga, and I’m hoping to speed up my pace over the summer.

I’ve also been working on my 2025 yearly theme: Year of Holding Things Loosely. In the first few months of the year, there was a lot of uncertainty regarding return-to-office mandates and how they would affect me. To be honest, not much more information is available, but I’m trying my best not to fixate on things I can’t control.

As I target some athletic goals this year, I’m also trying to hold my training schedule loosely: prioritizing other types of training besides just running. This has been harder as the spring semester ramped up, but I’m focusing back in.
