About Me
My Journey
I'm a senior in Computer Engineering at Purdue. My path started with embedded systems coursework and evolved into cloud and AI engineering during my internship at Mesh Systems. That mix gave me experience with both low-level embedded code and cloud systems.
I've learned to let my interests guide where I go. I started in electrical engineering, but as I was introduced to software, I followed those interests to computer engineering. That's how I got to where I am today. I let my curiosity take the lead.
My Approach to AI
I think AI works best when it amplifies what people can do rather than replacing them. At Mesh Systems, I developed a standardized IDE LLM prompt and led training sessions to help teams use AI tools effectively. The goal was making AI actually useful for daily work, not just impressive in demos.
My personal projects explore RAG systems and local-first AI tools. I'm interested in building AI that respects privacy, runs where you need it, and solves problems you actually have.
Beyond Code
Outside of software, I shoot photography, build custom PCs, and play guitar and bass. I'm currently extending this site to include a photography portfolio alongside the dev work. These hobbies keep me balanced and give me different ways to create and problem-solve.
Music drives my creativity and focus during development. Here's what I've been listening to.
