Systems
Works with the stack you have
TypeScript, Python, C++, Rust. Production systems that sit next to what already runs. No rip-and-replace.

Research
Learns how the work actually happens
I care about systems that survive production: sensor fusion under drift, stream processing at financial scale, and computer vision pipelines that actually ship peer-reviewed results.
Shipped
Finishes the job
ADAS drift detection, payment telemetry, peer-reviewed imaging pipelines. You review the exceptions.
Experience
Production systems at scale.
I'm a CS student at Michigan building production intelligent systems: ADAS calibration at Nadir, sub-second payment telemetry at Visa, and open-source quant and vision tooling on GitHub. I'm also a published author of literary fiction and philosophy at the intersection of physics and consciousness.

Software Engineering Intern, AIMS
Architecting AIMS (Active Incident Management System) from greenfield on Visa's full-stack data pipeline and quantitative infrastructure team. The system replaces manual L2 escalation with proprietary routing logic, statistical and algorithmic escalation policies, AI technology triage, and real-time classification over production payment telemetry in the Visa data lake.

Software Engineering Intern
Engineered simulation and control software for a 1:10 scale wind tunnel. Integrated PCB firmware, CAD, and CFD pipelines with object-oriented control loops, which improved biomimetic airfoil lift-to-drag ratio by 18% versus the baseline geometry.

First principles, production-ready.
My path runs through NASA wind-tunnel simulation, Princeton PPPL fusion imaging, CERN IceCube neutrino ML, and U-M Climate & Space spacecraft telemetry, plus founding Hooply and shipping bomIQ, IVSurf, and KiloFlicks.
