As of September 2026
I'm a computer science and biology student at the University of Maryland. Lately that means fine-tuning vision-language models to run on a 15-watt board strapped to a backpack, hardening LLM guardrails against prompt injection, and shipping the software a real club relies on every day.
On-device assistive vision for blind and low-vision users
The software side of a privacy-first wearable that describes the world out loud from a fine-tuned vision-language model running entirely on a Jetson Orin Nano. No image ever leaves the device.
Operations platform for the UMD Coffee Club
Inventory, event, and delivery management that tracks every bag of beans from delivery to the bottom of the cup. In daily production use by the club for over a year.

Praxis Engineering
I'm pursuing two degrees at UMD: computer science on the machine learning track, and biological sciences with a bioinformatics focus. The pairing is deliberate. The ML problems I find most interesting are the ones with a physical constraint attached, whether that's a power budget on an edge device, a person who needs an answer in under four seconds, or a dataset that came from the messy real world and needs to be cleaned before anything learns from it.
Outside of class I co-founded Veris, an assistive-vision wearable backed by UMD's AI institute, and I run the analytics team behind the Coffee Club's operations platform. Before college I earned Eagle Scout and led a troop of over a hundred people, which taught me more about shipping things with a team than any course has.
I'm looking for summer 2027 internships and co-op placements in machine learning engineering, applied ML research, or backend systems. If that sounds like your team, say hello.
Led a troop of 120+ members and organized more than 1,000 hours of community service.
Founded the analytics team and built the club's operations platform.
Designed thermistor sensor systems for the electric race car.
The things I do for fun, and the odd ways they feed back into the work.
Eating is the hobby. I keep an album of the good ones, most of it from two weeks in Japan and one very long dinner in Osaka.
See the albumI play cEDH, the competitive end of Commander.
Current Tournament ListI competed from a young age and sang seriously through school. These days it is just for me, which is how I like it.
Switches, keycaps, layouts, firmware. I am always chasing a slightly better typing feel, and I will talk about it longer than you want.
The fastest way to reach me is email. I read everything.
