Sid Ijju I am an incoming Master's student in Artificial Intelligence at Columbia University. Broadly, I am interested in using deep learning to build intelligent agents that can reason about the world and collaborate with humans. I'm also deeply invested in working on computer vision applications of generative A.I. Industry Experience. I was a Software Engineering Intern at Amazon, where I worked on internal tooling on network devices within the AWS network. In 2021 I interned at Quantel AI, where I worked on feature engineering for financial modeling and yield curve estimation. I also interned at Correlia Biosystems, developing computer vision and pattern analysis algorithms. Other Experience. I completed my undergrad at U.C. Berkeley, where I was the Head TA for Berkeley's CS 188 (Artificial Intelligence), and a member of Machine Learning at Berkeley (ML@B) and Voyager Consulting. I was part of Berkeley's Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology (M.E.T.) Program. |
