I am a computer scientist, artist, and server with deep ties to both the tech and hospitality industries. I've gained valuable experience in billing and growth engineering, collaborating across domains and contributing to mobile payment APIs and product toolkits. My service background has honed my communication skills, and my art fuels my creative thinking. Currently, I am focusing my studies on design and machine learning, developing practical skills in LLMs and applied ML systems. I am passionate about combining math, science, art, and design to solve problems creatively, and I am eager to grow into an architect of modern systems. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering at the Bridge City Bike co-op and supporting the local art and music scene in my city.
