Kaelan Yim

Hello!
I currently conduct independent research on LiDAR-based generalizable autonomous robotics.
Previously, I worked on benchmarks and evals for frontier models as a Cambridge MARS scholar, trained models for defense at a Department of Energy lab, designed PCBs onboard the current world record low-space atmospheric probe, built a distributed computing network from scratch, was featured by Falling Walls, and developed software for Salesforce, Accenture, and Oracle.
I study computer science (EECS) at UC Berkeley with a minor in gender & women's studies.
My wide range of hobbies include spelunking, leatherworking, glassblowing, crochet, gardening, autocross, cinema, axe throwing, shojin ryori, piano, photography, and penny press machines.
I was TIME Person of the Year 2006.

Feel free to reach out.
