About

Robots. Music. Automation. Video Games. Artificial Intelligence. Statistics. Learning. Teaching. Creating. These are just a few of my passions! All my life, I've taken steps to improve at the skills I've found interesting, from creating machine learning algorithms that recommend music to building an autonomous beach buggy. I'm a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a major in Computer Science and currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. Deciding my career, I wanted a degree that could encompass all of my curiosities; I looked at actuarial sciences, law, psychiatry, business, education. Still, none extended into all subjects I wanted to learn quite like computer science. With programming, I've created an agent to beat Pac-Man, built a website to create the highest DPS build in League of Legends, and performed analysis on the popularity of Spotify songs. In my last couple of roles, I helped patients who needed it most by identifying those with at risk features using machine learning, created finetuned large language models, and mentored juniors and interns into not just solving problems but asking why they needed to be solved. I'm always on the lookout for the latest technologies and willing to try new projects. I'm looking forward to your message!
