Computer scientist and applied mathematician

I'm finishing my Ph.D. in August 2025 and actively seeking employment to bring my freshly honed skills and cutting-edge education to a team environment in Machine Learning, Data Science, or Backend Software Engineering. Willing to relocate and/or work remotely.

I'm Darian, a computer scientist and software engineer based in Ithaca, NY. I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell. I am largely interested in developing machine learning algorithms for applications in science, business, and engineering.

Subjective Shortcomings Made Objective: A Path Toward Success in PhD Programs

I discuss what it feels like to not be making progress towards the completion of your PhD subjectively. But things changed quickly when I decided to measure my progress objectively. I then knew that I was, indeed, not making progress. I discuss how I was able to overcome this and how you can too.

A Tutorial on Bayesian Optimization

I discuss what Bayesian Optimization is, how it works, and how to implement it in Julia. I also discuss how to use it to optimize a simple function and discuss the pros and cons of Bayesian Optimization.
