Building intelligent systems across software & robotics.

Architected and developed InfraHub, a production-grade enterprise knowledge retrieval system that helps HashiCorp engineers find infrastructure documentation, decisions, ownership information, and relevant code.

• Built a watsonx-powered RAG pipeline spanning Backstage, Confluence, GitHub, and W3, combining BM25 and vector search with intent-aware ranking and trust scoring.
• Developed an MCP-based repository relationship tracker using graph and vector databases to map dependencies across HashiCorp repositories and broaden context for engineers and AI coding agents.

Developed a Python, React, and FastAPI application that expedited protection and control engineering work by 15% by extracting structured data from electrical substation schematics.

• Applied RAG, deep-learning image models, YOLO, agentic AI, Pandas, and REST APIs to process hundreds of schematics and prepare data for AutoCAD.
• Designed electrical and fiber-optic layouts, programmed real-time automation controllers, aggregated field data, and configured human-machine interfaces.

Contribute to machine-learning research in the Minnesota Interactive Robotics and Vision Laboratory and to research on natural language processing.

• Generate synthetic underwater-trash datasets with Blender, diffusion models, LLMs, and YOLOv11 to improve vision-model accuracy for underwater robots.
• Investigate dataset sparsity and agreement scaling laws while exploring NLP models that predict individual annotator responses to sentiment and offensiveness tasks.

Supported Machine Architecture and Organization and Introduction to Robotics through hands-on instruction, mentoring, office hours, and assessment.

• Led laboratory instruction in ROS 2, robotics principles, C, x86-64 assembly, and computer architecture.
• Mentored students, conducted office hours, and graded technical coursework.

Co-founded a driver-safety project centered on a Python facial-recognition prototype for detecting driver distraction.

• Built the prototype with OpenCV and MediaPipe.
• Managed interns and collaborated with industry, news, and community organizations to advance the project.
