Full-Stack Developer & Data Science Researcher at Purdue University. I build intelligent applications that bridge the gap between data and user experience.
I'm a Computer Science student at Purdue University with a passion for building impactful software that solves real-world problems. Currently working at the intersection of full-stack development and data science.
From developing AI-powered chatbots with LangGraph and OpenAI for Corteva Agriscience to analyzing social impact data for Dream Center Indianapolis, I thrive on challenges that blend technical depth with meaningful outcomes.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me leading robotics teams, competing in hackathons, or exploring the latest in AI and web technologies.
Real-world projects that pushed the boundaries of what I thought possible.
Developed an industry-focused chatbot using LangGraph, FastAPI, React/TypeScript, and OpenAI APIs. Built a retrieval pipeline that searched internal data using vector embeddings and returned relevant context for answer generation, while leveraging OpenAI to format responses into user-friendly outputs. Contributed to both backend and frontend development to deliver a full-stack application.
Collaborated and analyzed program data for the Building Pathways to Prosperity initiative to measure its effectiveness in moving single mothers and ALICE families toward self-sufficiency. Highlighted the economic and social benefits of the program, including reduced reliance on government aid and long-term community impact.
A selection of projects that showcase my passion for building meaningful software.
A Java-based social networking application allowing users to interact with friends, create posts, and manage profiles. Uses a Client-Server architecture with Socket programming for communication.
Web application providing users with a personalized and insightful view of the stock market. Delivers real-time market data, personalized news, and user-specific investment insights.
A gamified fitness app inspired by Solo Leveling. Features a rep-tracking XP system, interactive body-part exercise diagram, and an API-based workout library complete with animated GIF demonstrations.
Technologies and tools I use to bring ideas to life.
Leadership roles and community involvement that shape who I am.
Co-developed a fitness app inspired by Solo Leveling. Built a rep-tracking XP system, body-part exercise diagram, and integrated an API-based workout library with GIFs.
Led the software sub-team, programming the competition robot using WPILib and Limelight for Vision processing. Planned training and events for new team members.
Outreach events and WOW week, helping nearby teams with robot building and mock matches.
Volunteered over the course of 2 academic years supporting tech education initiatives.
I'm always open to discussing new opportunities, interesting projects, or collaborations. Feel free to reach out!
