What I'm looking for

I'm seeking continuous improvement in programming languages, machine learning, and data storytelling.

At Carnegie Mellon University, I developed three flexible, scalable pipelines for my CMU Parsons Corporation Prompt Classification Capstone: synthetic prompt generation, RLHF prompt generation, and malicious prompt classification based on business-specific guidelines.

I shared data-driven insights with technical and non-technical stakeholders through code documentation, a presentation, and a full model report. I also served as the single point of contact between project sponsors, CMU faculty, and team members.

For the clAIrvoyant Anchor Client project, I designed a PostgreSQL ETL pipeline and wrote SQL queries for a Streamlit analysis dashboard. I also helped establish unit testing with pytest.

My research at the University of Florida examined violations of musical expectation and emotion; I recorded and analyzed survey results from approximately 300 students and published the work in the fall 2024 UF Journal of Undergraduate Research.
