Software Engineer · AI Researcher · PhD Student
Four years at UT Austin sharpened my craft across full-stack engineering, data visualization, and NLP research. I completed my honors thesis under Professor Mishra on multilingual language models, and shipped real-world AI tools through UT Austin's Liberal Arts Technology team.
I'm now working on my PhD at Auburn University, advised by Professor Anh Totti Nguyen ↗︎. My research sits at the intersection of explainable AI, visual intelligence, and human-centered systems — building models that not only perform well, but can show why they do. My research PageGuide ↗︎ puts that philosophy into practice.
Outside the lab, you'll find me at the cinema ↗︎, on the tennis court, grinding Leetcode, or at the gym.

I build models that don't just predict — they explain. My current work at Auburn focuses on making AI systems more transparent, interpretable, and human-friendly. If a model can't show its reasoning, it can't earn trust.

When I'm not coding
I'm an AMC A-List member and have watched 40+ films in the last year — yes, I track every one with a rating. On weekends you'll find me on a tennis court or in the gym.

How I think about AI
The best AI is a multiplier. I believe in building systems where the human stays in the loop — curious, empowered, and still the one making the final call.
Output = You + Max(AI)
not Max(You, AI)
Draw anything — a doodle, an emoji, a signature. This canvas is yours.
Have a question or want to collaborate? Drop me a message.
I believe technology should be both innovative and transparent. My philosophy centers on ethical innovation, inclusivity, and building tools that empower rather than replace human intelligence.
The future of AI is collaborative — not competitive. I think of it this way:
Output = You + Max(AI)
Output = Max(You, AI)
Technology should amplify human potential, not overshadow it.
