Building practical AI
and backend systems

I am a Computer Science student at Michigan State University focused on AI engineering, backend development, database systems, and LLM-based symbolic regression research.

I build Python systems that connect research ideas to usable software: model-evaluation pipelines, API-driven automation, secure data workflows, and backend services that make machine learning projects easier to test, measure, and deploy.
