I'm a Computer Science graduate from the Colorado School of Mines, specializing in Robotics and Intelligent Systems with a minor in Computational and Applied Mathematics. My passion lies at the intersection of human-centered technology, machine learning, and gaming innovations. I'm particularly drawn to exploring how technologies can enhance human experiences especially creating intuitive and meaningful conduits between users and machines. I believe in creating technology that not only pushes boundaries but also considers its broader societal impact. In the past, I took an active leadership role in DEI&A communities as the Vice President of Community Outreach for Out in STEM (oSTEM) and as the Sponsorship Lead for the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers' West Regional Conference (SASE WRC). Outside of professional interests, my hobbies include digital and traditional art, occasionally tickling the ivories, and playing video games. In my free time you'll also find me cuddling with my cats and volunteering with animals.

Artificial Intelligence Developer I Jun 2025 - Present
Our current project is A Better Working Inventory System, which is divided into three main components. Two components are deployed AI solutions, and the third is an exploratory data analysis effort. To address products that are purchased but fail to sell, component one is a developed XGBoost ML model for purchasing risk prediction to identify higher-risk inventory decisions. To address sales teams losing potential sales, component two is a lost sales reporting system with a pipeline to highlight recurring patterns for analysis using OpenAI's API. Additionally, I am creating an internal AI/ML solutions within Copilot Studio to replace external contracts, and automated SOP generation from video transcripts to support finance and business analyst teams.
Plus One Robotics
Robotics Software Engineering Intern May 2024 - Aug 2024
- Analyzed trained models using PyTorch and Docker to optimize classification parameters, with a focus on fine-tuning segmentation thresholds to reduce errors. - Leveraged AWS for cloud-based model training, data storage, and experimentation with different parameter settings to optimize performance. - Utilized Linux for environment configuration and scripting, exploring modifications to training techniques to reduce misclassifications and balance error equivalency across classes.
Colorado School of Mines MIRRORLab
Undergraduate Research Assistant Aug 2022 - Dec 2024
- Led and presented research showcased at the 2024 Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Conference. - Conducted Bayesian hypothesis testing using R on experimental data involving robots in Blender created VR environments. - Published preliminary research on expanding diverse robot gesture-based communication methods, going beyond traditional deictic pointing, to enhance natural and efficient exchanges. - Initiated evaluation of technological needs of gaming and TTRPG through an HRI and HCI lens.
2024 HRI Research | Mines Interactive Robotics Research
I presented our work at the 2024 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2024) in Boulder, Colorado. This research highlights the potential for robots to use more human-like gestures in large-scale interactions, and underscores the need for further exploration of multi-modal communication in robotics
FreeTime App | Productivity Mobile App
The Colorado School of Mines requires professional work experience done through a field session course (CSCI370: Advanced Software Engineering). Companies come to assign course work to teams in which we familiarize ourselves with Agile and Scrum techniques. My project was to help FreeTime LLC. in creating an iOS mobile app which utilizes an AI algorithm to optimize productivity and minimize phone usage particularly to combat doomscrolling. Through developing Flutter/Dart code using Firebase, we successfully implemented an app which monitors user app usage, sends approval requests to an external buddy, and finally utilizes a voice clone.
