Building AI products, autonomous robots, and software that scales.

Promoted 3× in 18 months (Software Engineer → Perception Lead → Software Lead); now direct a 5–10 engineer team owning the AUV's full autonomy stack — vision, SLAM, planning, controls, and mission control. More than doubled underwater detection accuracy (mAP 0.40 → 0.90) by building the annotated dataset and training YOLO + RT-DETR with TensorRT on-vehicle inference, migrated a 10,000+ line ROS 1 codebase to ROS 2, delivered GTSAM-based SLAM validated to under 0.3 m error, and turned 75 GB of in-water test data into root-cause fixes worth 40% of top speed.

Own the digital platform serving 20,000+ undergraduates and lead a 2–3 person digital team — re-appointed for a second year. Made $352K in student-government spending publicly searchable with automated Funding, Senate Bill, and Legislative trackers (cutting manual reporting ~95% across 40+ organizations), grew USG's Instagram 25% with an analytics-driven content strategy, and built Ask USG, the organization's AI assistant, slated for campus-wide launch in Fall 2026.

Mentored 5 first-generation and transfer students in the program's inaugural cohort, coordinating with 30+ professors, advisors, and residential staff and building the program's application-tracking, mentor-matching, and scheduling workflows.

Rejoined after a semester abroad, now on the Outreach Team — connecting people with mental health resources at community events like the Sacred Music & Healing Festival and WeHo Pride, expanding community awareness of crisis resources and making it easier, and more normal, to ask for help.

Completed 50+ hours of intensive crisis-intervention training and served a weekly suicide-prevention shift on the national 988 Lifeline — volunteering near-daily over winter break and answering 100+ crisis calls with active listening and de-escalation.
