Building at the intersection of data, AI, and product

I'm an Informatics student at Indiana University specializing in data analytics and technology consulting. I enjoy building systems that combine AI, data, and software engineering to solve real-world problems.

My work spans the full stack — from AI pipelines that automate decision-making, to Tableau dashboards surfacing business insights, to UX research engagements that redesign public-sector digital experiences. I care deeply about making technology legible and useful for the people it serves.

At IU, I've had the opportunity to work across disciplines: competing in the ERPsim Tournament of Champions as stock manager (3rd place nationally), designing accessibility improvements for local government, and leading fundraising initiatives that raised over $20,000 for clean water access globally.

Outside of engineering, I serve as a mentor for Introduction to Informatics students, a Teaching Assistant for academic success, and a former Congressman in IU Student Government — allocating $200K in university funding.

I'm currently seeking internship and full-time roles in data engineering, AI product development, or technology consulting. If you're building something meaningful, let's talk.

🎯

Impact Over Output

I focus on work that creates measurable outcomes — not just deliverables. Every project should answer: "so what?"

🤝

Empathy-Driven Design

The best systems are built for real people with real constraints. I start with the human problem, then work backwards to the solution.

Continuous Learning

AI and data are moving fast. I invest in keeping my skills current — reading papers, shipping projects, and learning from people smarter than me.
