About Me

I'm Dylan, a senior at Columbia University. I'm super into broadening my horizons in both math and computer science, with my current interests being Mechanistic Interpretability and Representation Learning. I also love more general CS/Software Engineering (shoutout NixOS), and have recently gotten much more into high performance computing. I am also an avid jazz trumpet player/multi-instrumentalist, with experience playing at many notable venues in NYC

Experience

Long time jazz trumpet player, and (occasional) player for Noshows (go stream it on all platforms). I dabble in EWI (Electric Wind Instrument), ocarina, guitar, bass, piano, and synths. I'll add some demos here if I'm not lazy...
