I'm a grad student at The University of Alabama, diving deep into the worlds of AI, Robotics, and High-Performance Computing. By day, I'm an academic researcher and a Software Engineer Intern at Red Hat. By night, I'm a competitive programmer and a hackathon enthusiast who loves turning caffeine into code.
- 🧠 Tinkering with: Brain-Computer Interfaces and building scalable backends for ML systems.
- 🛠️ Building: An AI-powered disaster response platform that hopefully won't become self-aware.
- 🏆 Leading: The University of Alabama's Competitive Programming Club as President.
- 🌱 Learning: More about distributed systems and how to keep them from falling over.
- 📄 Writing: My next research paper (and a lot of C++).
I love a good challenge! Here are a few highlights from my competitive journey:
- 🥇 1st Place - Patient Safety Challenge @ HackPrinceton 2024
- 🥇 1st Place - Pharma/Healthcare Track @ HackPrinceton 2024
- 🥈 2nd Place Overall @ HackHarvard 2024
