Building AI systems from model to real-world products.

Computer Science student at UT Arlington focused on AI engineering, machine learning, and computer vision. I build end-to-end intelligent systems - from models and real-time vision pipelines to full-stack products people can actually use.

  • Decided to replace a traditional CV pipeline with a multimodal vision-language-model approach under a tight MVP timeline, weighing build-vs-buy tradeoffs to hit the deadline.
  • Served as Technical Lead for an 8-person team, shaping architecture decisions and breaking down implementation work across developers and PMs with varying technical backgrounds.
Undergraduate ResearcherFeb. 2025 – Mar. 2025
OURCS@DFW · Arlington, TX
view research certificate ↗
  • Applied adversarial attacks to text summarization models and measured robustness impact using Hugging Face and ROUGE scores, uncovering a 10–15% drop in recall on adversarial samples.
  • Investigated AI security vulnerabilities and model-evaluation techniques, translating findings into concrete prompt-template recommendations.
Data Analytics InternSept. 2023 – Dec. 2023
Hunt Consolidated, Inc. · Dallas, TX
view internship work ↗
  • Analyzed qualitative and quantitative datasets to support a $500K+ investment decision, cleaning and structuring data in Excel to cut report-preparation time by 30%.
  • Synthesized insights from 15+ stakeholder interviews and 5+ site visits using AI-assisted summarization, accelerating technical decision-making and executive-ready reporting.
