Purdue AI student at the intersection of machine learning, product strategy, and security. Directed a 25-member team. Shipped products. Building what's next.
About Me
I'm an Artificial Intelligence student at Purdue University (B.S. AI, class of 2027), pursuing a private pilot license on the side, and a newly NREMT-certified EMT with 56+ hours of clinical field experience — because I genuinely believe the best builders understand the systems and people they serve. My academic trajectory reflects that: I entered Purdue with 27 AP credits, joined The Data Mine corporate partners program to work on real industry data problems, and completed the CERIAS cybersecurity seminar.
Professionally, I've spent two summers at PSEG as a Product Intern — owning an IAM product backlog of 50+ items, executing 300+ UAT and SIT cases, and leading a cross-functional team of 25 interns to ship a company-wide onboarding site. In parallel, I built a time-series ML forecasting system for BASF that achieved ~92% accuracy and cut model update time from days to hours. The throughline: I care about shipping things that actually work in production, not just demos. I'm especially drawn to Aerospace and National Security — domains where product rigor, secure AI, and reliability are not optional.
