I’m Ethan, a data scientist and recent graduate from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.S. in Statistics and Machine Learning. I’m currently located just outside of Boston, Massachusetts with my pet bearded dragon.
My passion lies in Generative AI. Whether that is trying out a new diffusion algorithm or creating a chat-bot, I can and have done it. In fact, all of the images you see above were sampled from my custom implementation of a DDPM model (the predecessor to Stable Diffusion).
During my time at CMU, I leveraged the availability of world-class graduate level courses in the ML department to deepen my mathematical understanding of cutting-edge algorithms. This gave me a versatile toolkit to deal with the many financial, computational, and ethical issues the Generative AI field is currently working out.
Aside from Data Science, I love the outdoors and music. I played on the Carnegie Mellon University varsity soccer team, where we went to the NCAA DIII National Tournament in my third year. Other outdoor activities I find myself doing on weekends are biking, hiking, and skiing.
Fun Fact: I have played the violin for most of my life and love classical music!
