I'm a CS & Math student at UMD, graduating in 2027. I like building LLM-powered tools, backend systems, and developer infrastructure. Most of my projects start as problems I wanted to solve for myself.
Experience
Built APIs for satellite collision avoidance and a blockchain-integrated Space Safety Visualizer.
Built an ML anomaly detection system to identify fraudulent distributors from transaction data.
Architected TrachSense, an IoT platform for real-time airway monitoring with low-latency alert streaming.
