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.
Focused on bridging project-style prototyping with rigorous research—validating models, measuring uncertainty, and building reliable edge systems.
SELECTED PROJECTS
IoT plant-health system: soil moisture, air quality, and light sensors feed an edge model to recommend care, with cloud dashboards.
Data-driven visualization of sea-level rise and coastal erosion scenarios to help communities understand risk.
IoT device with USB-C connectivity displaying real-time weather, indoor temperature, humidity, and Spotify track info.
⚠️ Work in Progress
Solar-powered add-on for traffic lights using computer vision to detect accidents and automatically optimize traffic flow.
Crash detection device for vehicles using flex sensors to identify collisions and automatically call emergency assistance.
Suite of prototype devices to detect and alert workers of dangerous situations in offshore oil rig environments.
