About

I'm a computer science student at Michigan State University specializing in artificial intelligence, with minors in computational mathematics (CMSE) and business. I build things that sit at the crossroads of intelligent systems and practical software engineering.

My work spans from award-winning AI music generation to real-time computer vision for accessibility, industry ML pipelines, and systems-level tools in Rust. I care about writing software that's both technically sound and genuinely useful.
