Coming soon - 2025
Hi! I'm a CS student at UMD who took a gap semester in SF to build AI tools and explore the startup ecosystem. Currently back in school (September 2025) but staying active in the AI space.
Past work:
- Built DeepVO - CNN+LSTM visual odometry that beat ORB-SLAM, won MA State Science Fair ($10k)
- Founded Lucid Academy - AI education startup with 150+ students, 95%+ completion rate
- ML intern at Sanofi - improved MRI segmentation by 34%, saved scientists 5+ hours/week
- Led FTC Robotics programming - ranked 4th globally, multiple state championships
Currently:
- Joining Planted Solar (AI/Robotics) for summer 2025
- Building tools for LLM agents - memory systems, browser automation, long-term planning
- Interested in: multi-modal AI, AI agents for complex workflows, intersection of AI + robotics
Always excited to chat about new ideas and potential collaborations.
