I’m a Master’s student in AI Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in robotics and control systems. My background in mechanical engineering, combined with hands-on experience in edge AI, embedded systems, and cloud pipelines, allows me to bridge the gap between intelligent software and real-world hardware deployment.

I’m highly efficient in Python, C++, and MATLAB, and comfortable using SQL for data tasks. I’ve built end-to-end pipelines for on-device ML and cloud analytics, developed robotic systems with real-time control, and led teams in high-impact, cross-functional settings. At ESTAT Actuation, I helped secure $1.1 million in SBIR Phase II funding by contributing to the design, testing, and documentation of a wearable tech product for fighter pilots.

There, I developed a lightweight head and neck safety exotendon device for High G maneuvers, taking it from initial concept through three full prototypes. I designed, built, and programmed wear and high-speed test stands that enabled rapid material screening—saving both time and cost. I also led the design and testing of clutch and housing components for internal research and customer contracts, created basic prototypes such as a potential lower leg exotendon, and sourced specialized materials to support novel R&D. As Product Process Manager, I implemented PDCA and lean frameworks to optimize development workflows and represented the company at industry conferences.

My technical toolkit spans both ML and engineering domains. I work fluently with PyTorch, TensorFlow, Spark ML, EdgeML, Kafka, and PostgreSQL, and have hands-on experience with Fusion 360, ANSYS Workbench, SolidWorks, Simulink, and FEA. I’m also proficient in electrical assembly, hardware validation, and mechanical system integration.

I’m passionate about building smart, efficient systems — whether that means pruning deep networks for mobile deployment or optimizing robotics for real-time control. I’m eager to apply this mindset at the intersection of machine learning, robotics, and product innovation.

Outside of work, I hold the Eagle Scout Award, which reflects my dedication to leadership, service, and follow-through. View my full resume or explore selected highlights below.
