About

Computer Science graduate from Boston University specializing in machine learning and applied AI. As a Research Assistant, I build and train deep learning models in PyTorch — across computer vision (CNN, R-CNN, pose estimation), NLP with transformer models like DistilBERT, and generative AI / RAG systems. I turn that research into real products: Cortex, an AI-powered iOS bookmarks manager that runs a DistilBERT model on-device through CoreML, and ML Web Reader, a RAG-based AI web application that makes machine-learning book content interactive. I'm comfortable across the full model lifecycle — data and ETL pipelines (PostgreSQL), training, optimization, and deployment — using Python, PyTorch, Docker, and Git. IBM TechXchange Hackathon winner (watsonx.ai). Currently seeking 2026 Machine Learning / AI Engineering roles. When I'm not optimizing neural networks, you'll find me overthinking how to make technology a little more accessible for everyone — and looking for people to build cool things with.
