ABOUT_ME

SYSTEM INFORMATION

I'm a senior Software Engineering student at Florida Institute of Technology, my interests are on AI-enhanced embedded systems and robotics. I have founded 2 clubs during my time at FIT, the MATLAB Club (Vice President) where I focused on teaching MATLAB to students, and the Student Developer Club (President) where I am helping students learn about sofotware development, building projects, and helping them bridge the gap between what is taught in class and what is needed in the real world.

With 10+ international science fairs, and 3 hackathons under my belt and awards at 6 unique competitions, I've led teams of up to 5 engineers in developing crash detection systems, traffic optimization devices, plant health monitoring systems, and offshore safety equipment.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Focused on bridging project-style prototyping with rigorous researchβ€”validating models, measuring uncertainty, and building reliable edge systems.
