👋 Hi, I’m Ren.

I am a Ph.D. student in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. I work in the Variability Lab, advised by Andrew Begel.

I research psychologically safe collaboration in neurodiverse AI engineering teams. I aim to discover design principles for software development tools that support psychological safety among engineers with social and emotional differences. This will be useful for fostering team learning, well-being, and productivity.

I have worked with Deloitte, Google, and the Caribbean Science Foundation.

📣 Hiring? I am on the 2025-26 job market for applied industry research / engineering internships. Reach out if you want to chat!
