My path started with curiosity about computers and turned into a broader interest in how technical systems, research, and products come together. That has led me into academic research, startup building, community-facing work, and projects where I have had to think both analytically and practically.
Half in the lab, half building things in the wild.
I am a computer science student at UNO, a researcher at HAIM Lab, and the co-founder of SensorySync. Most of what I care about lives in the overlap: code, research, product thinking, and work that has to survive outside the classroom.
Current focus

Projects
Work I can stand behind right now.
Flagship project
SensorySync
SensorySync is a social-impact platform designed to support parents, therapists, and neurodiverse children. I have worked across product vision, user interviews, pitching, and the technical backbone of the app.
- Mobile app skeleton and backend direction built around React Native, Node.js, and MongoDB.
- 20+ user interviews used to shape features for behavior logging, communication, and progress tracking.
- Presented the product to investors, clinicians, and community partners across Louisiana.
Research / AI
Qualitative reasoning and VLM experiments
At HAIM Lab, I have worked on experiments around qualitative mechanical problem solving, model reasoning, and ML/LLM pipelines for analyzing behavioral datasets.
Applied ML
Contextual Bandit Clinical Trial App
Built during IAIFI Summer School using Dash, Thompson Sampling, and an explainable interface for visualizing real-time trial optimization.
