I'm an AI/ML engineer with an M.S. in Applied Artificial Intelligence from Purdue University (4.0 GPA). I work across applied machine learning, AI research, and software engineering, building AI systems from experimentation to deployment. Lately, my work has centered on Generative AI, LLM pretraining and fine-tuning, RLHF, and AI agents. I've built real-time voice agents, LLM applications, and agent-based systems for production use. My research has focused on multimodal machine learning and computer vision, including studying how object detection models perform under occlusion and other real-world conditions. Outside of work, I write about AI, intelligence, and free will on Medium.
Essays on AI, systems, and the occasional philosophy detour.
