About

I'm a senior at the University of Tennessee studying Applied AI, graduating May 2026. I build full-stack AI products end-to-end: backend pipelines, the interfaces people actually use, and the glue that keeps them running in production.

I work part-time at Marshall & Stevens building AI automation for forensic valuation workflows. My current focus outside of work is CampusNova, an AI-powered academic advising platform I'm building from the ground up.

I lean on AI coding agents heavily to move fast in modern stacks. Deepest experience is in product thinking, workflow automation, and Python backend systems that hold up under real load. I like the craft of turning rough ideas into products people rely on.
