Jordan Krishnayah

I build software, evaluate language models, take photographs, and serve as the 160th Grand Marshal of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

My time is spent primarily presiding over Senate GBMs, meeting with RPI administrators, doing homework, or building merlin.nyc.

Whenever I'm not at my laptop, I'm probably taking photos around campus or filming Instagram Reels, or brewing coffee.
