About Me
I’m a Computer Science student at Ohio State focused on building explainable AI systems, real-time web applications, and intuitive user experiences.
- ✦Software & Systems: I write clean, type-safe code across TypeScript, Next.js, and Python (FastAPI). I care deeply about latency, resilient state management, and architectures that don't crumble under real-world edge cases.
- ✦Applied Machine Learning: Whether measuring crisis safety recall with custom eval benchmarks, generating Grad-CAM visual heatmaps in 8ms, or running client-side computer vision in Web Workers, I focus on AI that is explainable, verified, and practical.
- ✦Interface & Craft: I treat design as a core engineering discipline. Software should be visually distinct, responsive, and tactile—not just another generic template.
- ✦Leadership & Inquiry: CEO of Philocracy, 2-time DataFest 1st Place Winner, and founder of the Syntinuum podcast, where I interview technical founders and engineering leaders about architectural decisions and system scaling.
Experience
Engineered AI workflows and internal software tools backed by AWS infrastructure (S3, DynamoDB, Lambda) to parse and process high-volume scientific datasets. Developed system architecture diagrams (C4 model) and standardized CI/CD trunk-based deployment pipelines.
