About Me

My Journey

My journey in computer science has been driven by a fascination with how complex systems can be streamlined through software. Currently, I am a Machine Learning Researcher at Penn State Behrend, where I construct multi-layered ingestion pipelines to automate the collection of academic content for the School of Engineering. Managing high-volume operations serving thousands of daily customers during my time at Waldameer Park gave me a strong foundation in problem-solving and reliability.

Interests & Philosophy

I am particularly interested in the practical deployment of artificial intelligence. Whether I am utilizing high-performance computing resources to facilitate intensive LLM fine-tuning or designing rule-based safeguards to optimize system reliability, my goal is to build accessible, accurate, and highly responsive tools.

Hobbies & Interests

Outside of software development, I enjoy playing roguelike, roguelite, and survival games like Risk of Rain 2. I am also an active manager in a Dynasty Fantasy Football league, where I enjoy evaluating trades and strategizing long-term roster moves. Additionally, I have always been into swimming after having been on the team at General McLane High School. I have fell out of it after High School, but after graduating at Behrend, I want to pursue this hobby again and refamiliarize myself with swimming.
