About Me

Building Intelligence
From Data

I'm an AI/ML Engineer & Data Scientist with hands-on experience in LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, agentic AI patterns, and end-to-end ML systems. Currently finishing my M.S. in Computer & Information Science (Data Science) at the University of North Florida with a 3.8 GPA.

Proficient in Python, PyTorch, and scikit-learn, I build with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and Grok. I design production-grade pipelines across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud — from embeddings & vector databases to supervised/unsupervised ML and reinforcement learning.

Also a published researcher and opinion writer on AI's impact on the workforce — because the best AI engineers are part scientist, part storyteller.
