I'm a -year engineering veteran known for delivering large-scale, mission-critical systems and creating opportunity through technical initiative.
My expertise spans distributed systems, big-data platforms, and high-reliability infrastructure.
Recently, I've focused on applied AI—integrating models into real products, optimizing performance, and enabling teams to ship fast with confidence.
I'm drawn to roles where deep systems engineering and modern AI innovation meet to drive outsized impact.
Co-developed an E2E model onboarding platform (patent pending) for RAI models. Co-authored an ML model/paper for steganographic image watermarking. Optimized in-house image classification and code vulnerability models, cutting >$10M/year in COGs and reducing P99 latency 3×.

ClassHawk Project Details
We've all been there. You've registered for all the classes you need next semester, but your
schedule is less than perfect. That one class on Friday separates you from 3-day weekends this
semester. Or maybe you just want to sleep in and take the 11:30am Biology Lab instead of the
9am. If you've ever sat there, refreshing the registration page for hours on end, hoping someone
drops the class you want, you're aware of how frustrating it can be. Well, stop refreshing the
page! We'll monitor for openings for you, and text you when someone drops out. It's that simple!
So stop worrying, and get started today!
