Yo! I’m Nick.

[1/22/24] Our paper “Interpreting and Editing Vision-Language Representations to Mitigate Hallucinations” has been accepted to ICLR’25! Here’s a summary.

I’m a current student at UC Berkeley studying CS and philosophy. I enjoy building things, writing, and exploring this vast world. I’m broadly interested in decoding how large language models learn and research multimodal interpretability in the Darrell Group. I occasionally update a list of questions I’m exploring and thinking about.

Professionally, I was a founding engineer at Brisk, where I helped build and scale an AI co-pilot for teachers to 100K users. I’ve also spent time working at Watershed on carbon data ingestion, Roblox on data infrastructure, and Thayermahan on autonomous maritime surveillance.

Within the Berkeley ecosystem, I have:

  • conducted NLP research to quantitatively analyze common challenges faced by product managers
  • worked on auto-scaling and cloud support for Hydro, an open-source library to write and deploy distributed applications easily
  • headed a client project with Recidiviz to improve sentencing outcome transparency for Codebase
  • sourced sponsorships for Cal Hacks, the world’s largest collegiate hackathon

In my free time, I’m scootering and biking through cities, chilling in bookstores, and performing improv.
