I'm a CS student at Michigan building production intelligent systems — ADAS calibration at Nadir, sub-second payment telemetry at Visa, and open-source quant and vision tooling on GitHub. I'm also a published author — literary fiction and philosophy at the intersection of physics and consciousness.

My path runs through NASA wind-tunnel simulation, Princeton PPPL fusion imaging, CERN IceCube neutrino ML, and U-M Climate & Space spacecraft telemetry — plus founding Hooply and shipping bomIQ, IVSurf, and KiloFlicks.

I care about systems that survive production: sensor fusion under drift, stream processing at financial scale, and computer vision pipelines that actually ship peer-reviewed results.

Open to software engineering, autonomous systems, and ML infrastructure roles. Always interested in hard technical problems at the intersection of research and production.
