About
I’m a Computer Science junior at George Mason University with a strong interest in software development, systems programming, and applied AI. I primarily work on backend and systems-level projects, with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and clean implementation.
I’m currently working as an AI Platform Beta Tester & Software Developer Intern at Blackwire Labs, where I test production systems, develop Python automation scripts, and evaluate large language model workflows. Outside of tech, I’m a Division I volleyball captain and SAAC representative, balancing athletics with a demanding academic and professional schedule.
