A FEW QUESTIONS I’VE BUILT ANSWERS TO
FEATURED PROJECT2025 — ONGOING
PetSnap.
A little curiosity. 120 dog breeds.
As a kid, I’d step outside and wonder what kind of bird, lizard, or frog I was looking at. Years later, learning about convolutional neural networks at UT gave me a way to answer that question.
PetSnap started with all animals. I narrowed the scope to dogs so I could build it well on my own—from training the model to building the app around it.

Coverage Copilot
Benefits questions, grounded answers.
A full-stack RAG app that answers questions about MASA’s emergency transportation benefits using its public FAQ and benefits pages. Built with query logging, a stats dashboard, and a 12-question evaluation set running in CI.

03 / TEAM PROJECT · 2025
HighHeat
From the pitch to the screen.
A baseball pitch tracking system built by a six-person team for UT’s Software Engineering course. I owned the React frontend, helped annotate the dataset in Roboflow, and worked with the backend team to connect ML inference to the interface.

02 / A bit about me
A curious mind.
A practical approach.
Always building.
I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a B.S. in Computer Science in May 2026. An Intro to Machine Learning course helped turn a childhood interest in identifying animals into my favorite project, PetSnap.
I enjoy working across the whole problem: preparing data, training a model, connecting an API, and making an interface people can actually use.

NOV 2021 — SUMMER 2025On a small, diverse team, I moved between equipment assembly, fabrication, customer quotes, and shipping. It taught me to adapt, pay attention to details, and understand how my work fits into the bigger picture.
