BS CS @ ASU · Graduating May 2026

Phoenix, AZ

CS undergraduate at Arizona State University, graduating May 2026. I spend most of my time studying how markets work and building the systems that interact with them. My work sits at the intersection of quantitative research and low-latency engineering, from reinforcement learning agents and stochastic models to lock-free order books and microstructure signal platforms.

Education

2022 – May 2026

BS Computer Science — Arizona State University

GPA 3.89 · Dean's List · Graduating May 2026. Coursework: OS, Algorithms, Distributed Systems, ML, NLP, Stochastic Calculus.

Experience

Fall 2025

Research Aide — SCAI, Arizona State University

Trained and benchmarked CV and LLM-based models for biomedical imaging pipelines across multiple architectures. Integrated LLM methods into processing pipelines and assessed output quality, identifying failure modes. Reviewed 3–4 papers weekly and authored technical summaries to guide model selection and experimental direction.

Fall 2024 – Present

Research Assistant — Biodesign Department, ASU

Built a Rust–Python interface via Maturin for Python orchestration of high-performance simulation components. Implemented a Django + JS platform for real-time configuration and visualization of simulation parameters. Extended the simulation framework to support spatial diffusion modeling, improving biological fidelity.

Summer 2024

Machine Learning Intern — WDWIL, Magik Kraft

Built a full-stack defect detection system with Django and JavaScript as the interface between ML models and production data streams. Deployed training and inference pipelines on AWS (EC2, Docker, Kubernetes) with GPU instances. Integrated TensorFlow and PyTorch model serving with CI/CD for production-grade reliability.
