About

About

I’m a master’s student in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Purdue. My interest in the field starts with the math, including how probability describes a model’s uncertainty and how gradients drive what it learns.

I carry that understanding into everything I make. I build end to end in Python and SQL, from data pipelines to trained models to the applications that present them, and I evaluate results with the rigor a production system requires. I’m seeking an ML or data engineering role where I can build, deploy, and maintain models in production.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me running, hiking, or baking.
