What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to apply machine learning, data analysis, and simulation skills to practical problems while continuing to grow through hands-on research, modeling, and collaborative technical work.

I've built machine learning and statistical models for cancer survival and agricultural yield prediction, including a Scikit-Learn Random Forest classifier using lncRNA expression signatures and clinical data for more than 159 patients.

At Albany State University's AI/ML Literacy program, I mentored youth students in responsible AI and machine learning use and taught topics including gradient descent and mathematical modeling. I also develop discrete-event simulations in Simul8 to improve restaurant and cafeteria staffing, capacity, throughput, and customer wait times.
