- Work with Google via TGS to develop AI solutions for various clients. - Recently deployed an NLU system into production, which is used by approximately 200k users daily. Using BigQuery and LookerStudio, we analyze these conversations to find trends, and potential issues. - Develop primarily in Python for the NLU system’s backend, using Docker and Gitlab CI/CD to manage and deploy the code to production.

Directed my expertise to researching and integrating open-source machine learning models, resulting in a pipeline capable of discerning human interaction intentions from camera imaging. Optimized real-time computer vision models to create a programmable perception of interactive depth. The outcome of my work led to pioneering patented models, which are now making their market debut in the realm of software-only spatial computing.

Lead a project at the University of Florida, utilizing my proficiency in Machine Learning to develop, train, refine, and enhance models aimed at detecting patterns in structural MRI brain imaging connected to real-world human spatial navigation. Processed and analyzed structural MRI brain imaging data from hundreds of participants. My efforts culminated in valuable findings that contributed to advancements in the field of neurological imaging and MRI data analysis.

Developed a comprehensive full-stack web application that enables employees to easily interface with SQL servers, leveraging the power of ReactJS and Java. As a part of a team of software engineers operating within the Scrum framework, I utilized tools like Git and JIRA, alongside rigorous unit testing, to ensure the steady advancement of our projects. Leveraged Terraform and Docker to execute software demonstrations in virtualized environments, further enhancing the adaptability and accessibility of our solutions.

GPA: 3.78 / 4.0 Master’s Thesis: “What mind matters? Machine learning approaches to linking structural variation in the brain to individual differences in spatial behavior”.

GPA: 3.99/4.0 Dean’s Honor Roll for all six consecutive semesters. Simultaneously received my High School diploma and Bachelor’s degree through a rigorous and competitive high school dual-enrollment program.
