About

Engineer by craft.
Researcher by instinct.

I'm a Computer Science student at Wayne State University with a relentless drive to push boundaries. My work spans from developing novel AI research pipelines for knowledge graph learning under Dr. Lihui Liu to building production systems at Ford Motor Company.

I founded Code Emergency a health-tech startup that built HIPAA-compliant emergency data platforms and have shipped AI-powered backends for government-contracted systems. I don't just write code; I architect solutions that matter.

My expertise lives at the intersection of deep learning research and production engineering from GNNs and knowledge graphs to Docker, Airflow, and cloud infrastructure. I build things that scale, and I build them right.
