SWE @ Carnival · Prev AI/ML Intern @ Oasis · CS @ UCF. I build AI-powered systems at the intersection of full-stack engineering and creative problem-solving.
I'm a Computer Science student at UCF who builds AI-powered systems that solve real problems. On the Web & eCommerce team at Princess Cruises I build AI agents that cut down lower-environment support work — a retrieval-augmented assistant in Java/Spring Boot and Python on Azure that pulls live Jira and Confluence context so engineers stop digging for it. Before that I built a heterogeneous GNN recommendation engine from scratch at Oasis.
My work spans AI/ML, full-stack development, and robotics. I've won back-to-back hackathons building hardware-software systems under 24 hours. I care about how the code is built, not just whether it runs.
Away from the screen I am usually in the gym and weightlifting is the thing that actually clears my head. The rest of the time it is pickleball, basketball, or whatever game has my attention that month. I am a lifelong LeBron guy and will happily defend that to anyone who brings it up. I also sing, with considerably more enthusiasm than technique.
Next.js 16 · React 19 · TypeScript · Arduino UNO R4 Minima · Gemini 2.5 Flash · ElevenLabs TTS · Web Serial API · Tailwind CSS 4 · Vitest
Won HackaBULL VII by building a hardware-software CPR training system that turns $50 of Arduino hardware into a full cardiac emergency simulation. A force-sensitive pad streams compression peaks over Web Serial at 100Hz — Gemini 2.5 Flash generates live patient scenarios, simulates real-time physiology (HR, BP, SpO2, rhythm) based on your depth and rate, and coaches you via three distinct ElevenLabs voices (calm instructor, 911 dispatcher, panicked bystander) with sub-50ms correction latency. Your eyes stay on the patient. Fully scored against AHA protocol with a detailed session debrief. 222 Vitest tests. Triple fallback chain: pad disconnected → keyboard mode, Gemini timeout → cached scenarios, ElevenLabs down → browser SpeechSynthesis.
Next.js · TypeScript · React · Gemini 2.5 Flash · LiveKit · MediaPipe · Three.js · Tailwind CSS
Won Hack The Bay 2026 by building a real-time AI role-play platform for high-stakes conversation practice — salary negotiations, HR disputes, legal client intake. An AI plays the other person while MediaPipe tracks webcam body language (eye contact, posture, fidgeting) and LiveKit analyzes voice (pace, filler words, energy) simultaneously. For the Legal Intake scenario, a custom Levenshtein + Jaccard fuzzy-matching engine extracts named entities from live conversation transcripts and surfaces opposing-party conflicts against a firm database in real time — before the meeting is even over.
Python · Flask · React · YOLOv5 · Arduino · iPhone LiDAR · WebSockets · D* Lite
Built an autonomous robot from scratch that navigates unknown environments using AI vision and spatial mapping. Integrated Arduino motor control with iPhone LiDAR for real-time obstacle avoidance and path planning. Connected Flask API + React dashboard for live telemetry and control with sub-250ms feedback latency. Improved navigation reliability by 40% vs ESP32 prototype through adaptive mapping and motor feedback loops.
Next.js · TypeScript · Python · CFPB API · Recharts · Zod · Vercel
Created a fintech web app benchmarking 300+ U.S. credit cards using CFPB data and scraped issuer information, producing a transparent scoring algorithm for informed decision-making. Built interactive sliders and analytics charts for real-time fee, APR, and reward comparisons. Collaborated in a 4-member team following CI/CD practices and type-safe API design with Zod validation. Deployed on Vercel for seamless user experience.
React · Node.js · TypeScript · Firebase · Google Gemini API · Docker · OCR
AI-powered tool helping immigrants identify tax form errors using OCR and natural language processing. Developed an intelligent system to parse and summarize U.S. tax PDFs using Gemini API for document parsing and error explanation. Implemented Firebase rules and audit logging to ensure secure document access. Featured PDF uploads, form detection, fallback logic, and rate-limiting for production-ready deployment. Major university-sponsored project.
React.js · Node.js · Express · OpenAI API · Tesseract.js · OCR · Tailwind CSS
AI-powered scam detection tool that analyzes suspicious messages, emails, and websites to protect users from fraud. Built an OCR → LLM pipeline with schema validation, fallback logic, and timeout resilience achieving 95% uptime. Created an explainable red-flag panel combining GPT reasoning + regex severity scoring. Developed a Chrome extension for instant webpage analysis with debounced listeners and secure REST calls. Backend deployed on Render for scalability.
Python · Flask · OpenWeatherMap API · Matplotlib · REST APIs
Dynamic weather dashboard with real-time data visualization and weather-responsive backgrounds. Features city-based weather search, interactive temperature/humidity charts, and intelligent background changes that adapt to current weather conditions using Flask backend and OpenWeatherMap integration. Demonstrates full-stack capabilities with seamless API integration and responsive design.
HTML · CSS · JavaScript · UX Research · UI/UX Design
Co-authored a 9-page research paper for an AI-powered tutor-matching system at UCF. Built an interactive UI demo simulating live tutor-student pairing with subject and availability input fields, responsive output panel, and frontend-only logic. Focuses on improving educational accessibility through intelligent matching algorithms.
Python · Markdown · Technical Writing · Documentation
Authored a comprehensive beginner-friendly installation and usage guide for Python's IDLE environment. Included detailed screenshots, simplified setup instructions, and troubleshooting section to help new programmers get started with Python development. Demonstrates technical communication skills and commitment to making programming accessible.
