I build systems where hardware meets intelligence — from ROS2 rover pipelines that fuse LiDAR, depth, and IMU into autonomous navigation, to AI tools that help people communicate and stay independent. Most of what I ship starts at a hackathon and gets pushed until it actually works on real hardware and real users.

• Now — Autonomous Systems Engineer @ Trickfire Robotics, building a perception → planning → control stack in ROS2
• Into — robotics autonomy, applied ML, and assistive tech that solves a concrete human problem
• Around campus — ACM · IEEE · GrayHats Cybersecurity · SASA
• Open to — software / robotics engineering internships

Systems & Tools

An AI-powered AAC system that helps non-verbal users communicate through a symbol-based interface with personalized phrase prediction. The NLP pipeline combines n-gram prediction, vector similarity search (MiniLM + ChromaDB), and a local LLM fallback — with AES-256 encrypted, self-retraining user history.

An AI care companion for people with memory difficulties. A distributed system of 7 MCP microservices handles perception, memory, reasoning, safety validation, and caregiver alerts — fusing webcam, voice, and text with profile-aware reasoning and deterministic safety rules for risk assessment.

An ML pipeline on 26.2k longitudinal CDC survey records. Random Forest models predict delayed or missed care across demographic groups (R² = 0.93), and unsupervised clustering surfaces high-risk populations from temporal feature engineering.

A mobile sustainability platform with gamified challenges and rewards. A zero-shot vision model (OWLv2) automatically verifies real-world sustainability actions from user-submitted images, backed by Node/Express APIs and Firebase.

A browser-based assistance system that detects signs of online frustration and alerts trusted contacts when help may be useful. A lightweight Chrome extension collects navigation, form, error-page, and scam-detection signals, feeding a serverless AWS backend for event processing, screenshot storage, and automated alerts.
