🤖 I'm an AI/ML engineer who loves building things that sit right at the edge of research and production — LLM systems, medical imaging pipelines, agentic AI, you name it.
🎓 Currently finishing my MS in Data Science at UW-Madison. Looking for full-time roles in AI/ML & Data Science starting May 2026.
🔬 I've done ML research in clinical settings and built production-grade LLM systems from the ground up.
🔐 Lately spending a lot of time in AI Security — building adversarial defenses, semantic firewalls, and LLM guardrail systems.
🌱 Always learning — lately I've been deep in continual learning, multilingual LLMs, and uncertainty estimation.
🎸 When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm playing music, hitting the gym, gaming, or out somewhere new.
💬 Always down to talk AI, collaborate on cool projects, or just geek out — reach out anytime!
