What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production AI/ML products in collaborative teams where I can apply research-to-production skills, grow technical leadership, and deliver measurable impact.

I am a Software & AI Engineer with hands-on experience building AI authentication systems, vision analysis with vector embeddings, and PoC machine learning solutions. I combine web development skills with AI research to deliver measurable improvements.

I have interned in cybersecurity and XR AI research, automating assessments and improving TTS/STT workflows, and worked with Pinecone, Supabase, FastAPI, and OpenAI APIs to deploy production features. I also support instructional design work building course content and accessibility assets.

I lead and co-found projects in hackathons and startup accelerators, winning awards like the WattWise first-place prize and team leadership recognitions, and I thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams focused on practical impact.
