⚠️ This profile uses more acronyms than strictly necessary.

Here is a quick introduction of me!!

🔬 Research Taste: XAI, LLM systems, prototype-based explanations, and agentic memory.
🛠️ Engineering Taste: AI software packages, reproducible ML pipelines, complete deployed software with backend/CI/CD, and code that ideally runs more than once.
📄 Selected Research: mostly first-author, except where academic gravity had other plans.
📬 Reach Me Via: LinkedIn, follow my research on Google Scholar, and my website.
🧮 Important Life Rule: $(1.01)^{365} - (0.99)^{365} \gg 0$; one year of compounding efforts.
