Hi I'm Tristan. I'm a student at UC San Diego studying Computer Science - AI. I'm interested in deep learning, mechanistic interpretability, philosophy, and math.
In high school, I interned at dmodel (YC S24) where I helped build an internal v0 product and RL environments for frontier AI labs. I'm returning there next summer as a technical intern for 2027.
I'm extremely curious about our current age of learning, specifically about optimizing education with LLMs. I'm always interested to hear about people's takes on the balance between learning and productivity within AI consumption.
Outside of tech, I am a pianist and a photographer. Here are some of my favorite photos. I listen to all sorts of music: r&b, classical, rap, jazz, etc. I love watching movies, taking photos, going on hikes, rock climbing, and working out.
