Introduction

About me

I'm a Computer Science student at LSU with a minor in Mathematics, passionate about machine learning, systems performance, and shipping software that solves real problems — from AI workflow engineering at Spacebourne and GPU-accelerated diffusion research on LONI HPC at the ATHENA Lab to founder-led delivery at Deltara Tech, where I've built production systems for 100+ users across Louisiana businesses.

Experience

Hands-on engineering across AI platforms, ML research, healthcare, GIS, and founder-led client delivery.

June 2026 – Present

Software Engineer Intern

Spacebourne

Current
  • Reduced AI processing time by 20% through backend optimization and workflow automation.
  • Developed 5+ production-ready features adopted across the CLARITY platform, improving user productivity and system capabilities.
  • Implemented AI workflow enhancements that decreased manual review time by 35% and improved operational efficiency.

June 2026 – Present

Undergraduate AI Research Assistant

LSU ATHENA Lab

Current
  • Engineered PyTorch diffusion pipelines executed on NVIDIA A100 GPUs on LONI's QB-4 supercomputing cluster, implementing configurable denoising schedules, latent upsampling strategies, and multi-stage image generation workflows.
  • Built automated benchmarking infrastructure for large-scale GPU experiments on HPC infrastructure, orchestrating Slurm batch jobs and logging generation outputs, GPU runtime performance, and evaluation metrics across hundreds of test configurations.
  • Profiled GPU inference tradeoffs between speed, image quality, and text-image alignment using Stable Diffusion and Hugging Face Diffusers, characterizing latency and memory behavior across pipeline configurations.

January 2026 – May 2026

Software Engineer Intern

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana

  • Developed backend features using C# and SQL to manage client documents, payments, and records within cloud-based systems, ensuring accurate storage and retrieval.
  • Built and optimized database queries and workflows to improve data consistency and performance across patient-facing applications.
  • Collaborated with engineers and stakeholders to debug issues, deploy updates, and enhance system reliability in a production environment.

May 2025 – Present

Founder & Software Engineer

Deltara Tech LLC

Current
  • Generated $18,000+ in revenue building custom software solutions for 6 Louisiana businesses.
  • Delivered production web, mobile, and automation systems used by 100+ end users across HVAC, roofing, and home-service industries.
  • Managed client acquisition, requirements gathering, development, deployment, and ongoing support.

January 2025 – May 2025

Software Developer Intern

LSU CARTS

  • Collaborated in a team of two to develop GIS applications using Python or Blazor, contributing to innovative solutions.
  • Developed applications that enhanced the efficiency of GIS analysts, increasing their productivity by up to 25%.
  • Applied problem-solving techniques and programming expertise to deliver functional and efficient GIS tools that support research and transportation safety initiatives.

Projects

From ML inference systems to full-stack and mobile apps — filter by focus area.

2026 Full-Stack

CoHabit

  • Developed a JavaFX (Java 17) desktop application for shared-living coordination — room setup, chore tracking, expense balancing — with layered model/core/UI architecture, Maven tooling, and JUnit 5 coverage of core manager logic.
  • Engineered a dual-persistence layer integrating Firebase Firestore via REST with transparent local JSON fallback (Jackson), preserving full functionality offline or on cloud failure.

2026 ML & AI

Inference Kernel Optimization Lab

  • Implemented Transformer inference kernels (GEMM, Softmax, LayerNorm) in a three-tier progression — pure Python baseline, NumPy/BLAS, and JIT-compiled Numba — achieving a ~300× speedup over baseline through cache-block tiling, matrix-transpose memory layout optimization, 4-way loop unrolling, and thread-level parallelism.
  • Applied roofline model analysis to classify kernels as compute-bound (GEMM) vs memory-bound (Softmax, LayerNorm) by arithmetic intensity, and quantified the remaining gap to hand-tuned BLAS, attributing it to SIMD auto-vectorization limits.
  • Engineered a rigorous benchmarking harness with median-based timing, JIT warmup control, single-thread isolation for fair kernel comparison, and block-size sweeps, producing reproducible CSV results and performance plots.

2026 ML & AI

ML Inference Scheduler & Performance Profiler

  • Built an SLO-aware ML inference scheduler modeling mixed workloads with micro-batching, priority queuing, and GPU-style execution lanes under memory-bandwidth constraints, benchmarking scheduling policies head-to-head.
  • Quantified latency, throughput, p99 tail latency, and SLO violation rates via trace-based profiling, characterizing queue contention and latency/throughput tradeoffs across batching strategies.

November 2025 Mobile

Coach AI

  • Developed an AI-powered iOS platform combining LLMs, real-time health data, task management, and location-aware automation for personalized coaching and workout planning.
  • Integrated Llama 3.1 via Groq API into a context-aware pipeline aggregating HealthKit metrics, goals, tasks, and calendar events for automated workout plans and task updates.
  • Designed a scalable cloud architecture using Firebase Authentication and Firestore with dual-layer persistence, secure data isolation, and geofence-triggered automation via CoreLocation.

May 2025 Mobile

Inventory Pro Tracker

  • Developed and launched a full-stack inventory management system featuring a Swift UI iOS app and responsive web interface (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), now available on the App Store.
  • Designed and deployed a scalable backend using Railway, enabling real-time tracking of inventory across multiple suppliers and locations.
  • Built intuitive UI/UX for businesses to easily manage complex supply chains with multi-supplier support, item categorization, and usage history visibility.
