<p class="lead mb-5">Hi! I'm a PhD student at University of Washington with <a href="https://www.cs.washington.edu/people/faculty/lsz">Luke Zettlemoyer</a> and <a href='http://www.timalthoff.com/'>Tim Althoff</a>. I work on NLP and Dialogue. I'm specifically interested in efficiently training and generating from large language models, conditional compute methods, controllability and safety, and applications to mental health. I'm concurrently a visiting researcher on the <a href="https://ai.facebook.com/">FAIR team at Meta</a>. <br><br>Previously, I was a Research Engineer at FAIR (then Facebook AI Research) in New York. During that time, I primarily worked on open domain dialogue, but also explored RL for agents in text-based games, text-to-multimodal adaptation, and mental health applications.</p>

<h2 class="mb-5">Failure Resume</h2>
<p>People have told me "failure is normal" and "we all have imposter syndrome," but that isn't reflected in the curation of CVs and LinkedIn posts. So I've made what I wish I saw more of -- a 'failure' resume -- in an attempt to provide a little bit of practical grounding for these platitudes. I hope this helps you see my supposed failures, and yours, in a kinder light. So here are a few of the greatest hits of my career-related rejections and such since undergraduate. </p>
<p>There are plenty more for all other aspects of my life too, and I'm happy to chat about those, or anything listed below, in detail. Especially if I know you personally, feel free to reach out anytime.</p>

<h3 class="mb-1">Rejected SWE Internship Applications: 100+</h3>
<p>I transferred into CS from Bioengineering during undergrad and had never coded before. With less experience and coursework than many of my peers, I applied to > 100 internships during my undergraduate years and got rejected from them all -- except for Facebook, Google, and a startup my final summer.</p>

<h3 class="mb-1">Rejection from FAIR </h3>
<p>I had 0 ML experience coming out of university, and when I tried to join FAIR, I was rejected the first time. A research scientist later accepted me on their team, and I'm super grateful to have gotten that opportunity despite there being more qualified engineers (who maybe had at least taken a Machine Learning course for their degree). But I was team-less for nearly 3 months, longer than anyone else I knew. </p>

<h3 class="mb-1">Poor work performance </h3>
<p>I struggled to ramp up on both engineering and machine learning knowledge at the same time, because of the aforementioned lack of experience in ...both. So I took longer to get my (mandatory) first promotion than anyone else I knew, including a negative rating the cycle before I did get the promotion.</p>

<h3 class="mb-1">Rejected Grad School Applications: 5 (or, n-1 out of n)</h3>
<p>I didn't get any kind of outreach or interview, didn't even get explicitly rejected. Got ghosted by a professor who had asked me to email them -- no hard feelings to that person, who is definitely very busy! But I did take it as negative personal feedback then.</p>

<p>I spent about 4-5 weeks of my life doing nothing but applying, and got exactly one interview over the course of 2 years. One fellowship, notably, gave me wildly opposite feedback the second year I applied compared to the first year, which just goes to show that the application readers aren't perfect and the process is super noisy.</p>

<p>Most got in on resubmission, but it didn't make the first rejection pleasant. Some key phrases I've gotten are "not novel," "not interesting," "not significant," and "not convincing." The papers I am most proud of are the ones I've had the most trouble submitting. </p>

<p>I went almost 3 years from 2019 - 2022 without writing a single first-author paper. I was doing research! I just got no results I felt were worth publishing.</p>

<h2 class="mb-5">Interests</h2>
<p>When I'm not doing research or teaching, I enjoy walking to every <a class="nav-item" href="https://goo.gl/maps/T5QWRaQoyKucjKm97">bubble tea shop</a> within 5 miles, <a class="nav-item" href="https://www.facebook.com/FFlatACappella/videos/287624442116210/">singing mostly on-key</a>, rewatching/rereading the Lord of the Rings trilogy, working out in the most stereotypically bb <a class="nav-item" href="https://www.soul-cycle.com/r/RrbdLXSM/">fitness class</a> ever, and listening to people on Youtube talk about anything. I also spend far too much time online window-shopping and window-eating, which is exactly what it sounds like, in an attempt to limit my actual shopping and eating (the latter is a lost cause).</p>
<p class="mb-0">I've decided to do my best to fit in while living in the PNW by taking up hiking and snowboarding, or just walking around with hiking and snowboarding equipment. I'm always interested in new hobbies, so if you have a beginner- and klutz-friendly one to share, let me know :).</p>
