I'm a Computer Science student at Wayne State, and I've spent the last two years building software that real people and real organizations depend on. Ford brought me back on a return offer to help build the Fleet organization's first production agentic AI system. Before that I co-founded an emergency health platform, and worked as an engineer on a government-contracted system serving millions of requests.

Most of my work has landed in places where being wrong is expensive: healthcare, government systems, production data pipelines. That shapes how I build. I care about whether a thing actually works under load, whether the numbers behind it are honest, and whether the person on the other end is better off for it.

I also do research at Wayne State under Dr. Lihui Liu. My paper found that widely-used benchmarks for predicting ICU patient medications were leaking answers into training, which meant the scores the field was reporting were inflated. I built a corrected benchmark, a harder test set, and a model that beat five comparable approaches on it.
