My Purpose
My profession is software engineering and AI research. My mission, as a problem solver and critical thinker, is to develop technology that helps organizations make better decisions and to tackle some of today's pressing issues, from climate change to economic instability.
I am a computer scientist and economist in training, but more than that, I am a builder. My work is rooted in the conviction that the most powerful technology is not the most sophisticated, but the most purposeful. Whether I am writing a cache simulator in Rust, designing a data pipeline for a logistics platform, or advising students on their academic journey, I bring the same orientation: understand the system deeply, then redesign it with care.
My expertise spans software engineering, applied machine learning, and economic analysis. I am particularly interested in the ways that AI systems interact with real-world incentive structures, a question that is both deeply technical and profoundly human. In my research on multi-agent systems in Professor Adam Eck's lab, I focus on how autonomous agents can work together to achieve common goals, including applications to real-world issues like wildfires.
I am also a practitioner. I have contributed to software solutions in environments where reliability and precision matter, and I have helped build platforms that address logistics and natural resource management challenges, contexts where the stakes of poor design are immediate and visible. These experiences have given me a grounded, applied perspective that I carry into every project.
I bring a combination of technical skill and broad perspective. I can architect a system, run a regression model, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. I work best in environments where the problem is not yet fully defined and the path forward requires creative thinking. Through my roles in the Computer Science Majors Committee, African Students Association, Oberlin Club Soccer, and as an Obie Leader, I have developed leadership and community stewardship that I bring to every team.
In the near term, I am seeking opportunities in software engineering, data science, or AI research that allow me to work on problems at the intersection of technology and impact. Over the longer arc of my career, I intend to refine my skills in ML and AI, remain connected to innovation ecosystems, and contribute to solutions that positively impact people's lives.
