Hi, I'm Pryce Tharpe

I'm an AI Acceleration Fellow at Eli Lilly and a 2026 Purdue Computer Engineering grad. I build platforms like Sazed and experiment with ways to innovate my workflow. I also love to teach and discuss: AI enablement for colleagues, mentoring a high school intern, and helping friends and family get familiar with AI.
