About Me

I'm a Computer Science student at Colby College with a passion for building AI-driven solutions and scalable applications.

Currently working as a Software Engineer at ParaAI, where I spearheaded development of an AI-driven writing tool that achieved 200K+ users and $150K in Microsoft credits. I architect full-stack solutions integrating multiple AI models (GPT-5, Llama 4, Phi4, Opus 4.1) and engineer advanced AI pipelines.

I have a strong background in research, having worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at Colby College where I developed innovative solutions for eye-tracking data analysis. My work has been documented in published research papers and has contributed to advancing the field.

My experience spans full-stack development, AI/ML engineering, data processing, and DevOps. I'm passionate about building scalable applications and conducting meaningful research. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love tackling complex technical challenges.
