Currently

  • Undergraduate deep learning researcher with Dr. Sergei Gleyzer's lab on the NSF-funded DeepLense project — physics-informed ML for strong gravitational lensing
  • Incoming GSoC 2026 mentor for ML4SCI (Machine Learning for Science)
  • Incoming coop at Alabama Credit Union, fraud detection ML

Selected work

  • UA Parking Intelligence Platform — Full-stack survey analytics built as SGA Treasurer. Python ETL over Qualtrics API, Gemini 2.5 Pro thematic analysis, semantic RAG over an embedded free-text corpus, Next.js dashboard. Findings delivered to UA Parking administration.
  • IRIS — Smartphone-based object-finding tool for visually impaired users. Zero-shot Gemini detection with MediaPipe hand tracking, haptic feedback, and stereo audio guidance. Runs in any phone browser, no install.
  • Nexus — Hospital census intelligence platform for HCA Healthcare. Ensemble forecasting (WMA + seasonal decomposition with confidence intervals), AI briefings via local Mistral 7B for HIPAA-compliant inference.
  • DeepLense GSoC 2026 tests — Foundation model + physics-informed ML for gravitational lensing classification. ResNet baseline (0.994 AUC), Physics-Informed ResNet with learned Einstein radius (0.995 AUC), MAE ViT-Small (0.999 AUC), MAE encoder reused for 2× super-resolution.

Past

  • Director of Technology, SGA VP Cabinet — built Capstone Wellness Explorer (block-seating points system at Bryant-Denny Stadium), Python automation cutting manual financial processing by 85%
  • Data Analyst Intern, The Westervelt Company — Python + PostgreSQL automation reducing manual handling 70%, ~$100K annual operational savings
