Researcher, engineer, founder.

I'm an independent AI researcher and research collaborator with Washington State University, where I co-developed VALOR-RAG — a patent-pending defense framework for retrieval-augmented generation. My independent work in representation learning and computational biology has been accepted to NeurIPS and AAAI workshops, with an ACL submission under review.

On the building side, I'm the founder of Meridian, operational infrastructure for tutoring businesses, and I lead software on my FIRST Robotics team. I serve as Executive Vice President of DECA — 400+ members, $100k+ budget — and won 1st place nationally in FBLA Mobile App Development.

The common thread: I build products at the intersection of AI and infrastructure, and I care about the gap between what works in a benchmark and what works in the world.
