About

Building agentic systems that ship.

I am a Data Science student at UC San Diego with a passion for machine learning, AI, and software development. My goal is to create meaningful solutions that leverage data to solve complex problems.

Experience spans TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, NLP, generative AI, agentic AI, MCP-based workflows, and end-to-end full-stack delivery with React/Node. I regularly use Claude Code and Cursor for high-velocity AI engineering, and ship analytics/ML systems with cloud tooling including AWS, GCP, and Tableau-driven reporting.

Indianapolis, INHybrid

Jul 2026 - Present

Partner with the CEO and CTO to design an agentic AI system that generates branded annual client reports from farmland lease and payment data, architecting workflows that reason over each report, orchestrate tool calls, and deliver output without manual compilation. Built a verification layer that cross-checks figures against source data through deterministic tool calls with strict production-year isolation, and engineered the GCP stack with integrated LLMs using prompt and context engineering for a proof-of-concept ahead of premium platform rollout.
