About me

I build large language models end to end—data curation, pretraining, fine-tuning, and evaluation—with a focus on code generation beyond English, beyond Python, and beyond the benchmarks the field already optimizes for.

I am a Provost's Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Notre Dame, working with Dr. Joanna C. S. Santos in the S2E Lab on safety-by-construction guardrails and multilingual program synthesis for Code LLMs. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at George Mason University in 2026, advised by Dr. Marcos Zampieri and Dr. Antonios Anastasopoulos. My open releases include mHumanEval, TigerLLM, TigerCoder, and MojoBench. I am the lead organizer of LangCode 2027, the first workshop on language and code, proposed for the 2027 ACL-community workshop cycle.
