Computer Science @ University at Albany • Undergraduate Research Fellow • Web Development Lead
Research Interests: Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, Natural Language Processing, AI-Supported Collaboration, Large Language Models, and Human-Centered Computing
I am a Computer Science student at the University at Albany focused on software engineering, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and large language model systems.
My work combines scalable software engineering, machine learning, and product design. I enjoy building software that transforms complex ideas into intuitive experiences while creating practical AI systems that solve real-world problems.
- Building a centralized volunteer engagement platform serving 1,200+ students as Web Development Lead for the Community and Public Service Program (CPSP)
- Conducting research on AI-mediated collaboration, cognitive offloading, and multimodal mental health systems
- Developing NLP pipelines using transformer embeddings, topic modeling, and local large language models
- Exploring the intersection of software engineering, HCI, and applied AI
Designed an end-to-end topic modeling pipeline combining:
- BERTopic
- UMAP
- HDBSCAN
- High-dimensional semantic embeddings
- Local LLM-based topic labeling
Engineered the NLP pipeline for local GPU execution on an RTX 5070, explicitly managing PyTorch CUDA garbage collection and batch sizing to eliminate out-of-memory fragmentation when processing massive 8,192-token context windows.
Researching how artificial intelligence influences:
- Cognitive Offloading
- Knowledge Construction
- Group Collaboration
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
through mixed-methods quantitative and qualitative analysis.
