About Me
Passionate about leveraging AI to solve complex problems
I'm an AI-First Engineer currently participating in Gauntlet AI's intensive challenge program, where I'm mastering the art of building cutting-edge AI applications. With a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen, I've successfully driven 3x growth as COO of a family business while pursuing my passion for technology.
Currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, I bring hands-on experience from cloud security internships at Nationwide, where I built AWS-based monitoring systems and enhanced data analytics platforms. My Bachelor's in Computer Science & Engineering from The Ohio State University, combined with a minor in Business, provides me with a holistic approach to solving complex problems.
Through the Gauntlet AI program, I'm pushing the boundaries of what's possible with artificial intelligence, designing and deploying end-to-end AI solutions while collaborating with top-tier engineers. My goal is to leverage this expertise to build innovative, intelligent applications that create real-world impact.
