Mathematics background with experience in teaching, computing, and network support. Coauthored two peer-reviewed papers as an undergraduate and completed graduate computer-science coursework through Georgia Tech’s OMSCS program. Recent work centres on machine-learning projects and competitions involving reasoning, evaluation, and AI agents — run on a GPU lab I built and operate.
