Introduction

About Me

Building the Future, One Line at a Time

I'm a Computer Science student at Louisiana State University with a passion for machine learning, AI, and full-stack development. Through internships at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana and LSU CARTS, I've gained hands-on experience building production systems and optimizing performance.

My work spans from ML inference optimization and AI-powered applications to scalable backend systems and mobile apps. I'm constantly exploring new technologies and applying them to solve real-world problems, with projects ranging from phishing detection systems to inventory management platforms.
