About

NYC-based Computer Science student at Georgetown University, specializing in AI and creative technology. Simultaneously built a GPU-accelerated audio transcription platform at Catalyst, leveraging Whisper models and real-time file monitoring for scalable speech-to-text services, and developed Allumare, an AI-powered video generation platform transforming audio uploads into dynamic visuals using Gemini models for prompt generation, GCP's Transcoder API for 4K video processing, and Replicate's latent blending models.
Previously created AI-powered financial analytics tools at Quikirr and contributed to developing Ava, an AI scheduling assistant with 10,000+ users. Past projects also include audio visualization and video tools for Hollywood producers and software development experience at Jackpine Technologies. I enjoy contract work and AI consulting projects, leveraging my experience with creative technology and AI tools to help companies build innovative, high-impact products.
Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, following the philosophy of John Meadows. I'm also interested in video games such as CSGO, as well as comedy and music. This past summer, I spent time in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana fly fishing and horseback riding - you can see some photos here.

Music
Learning to play the piano has been one of the most rewarding challenges and gifts that I have experienced in my life. Aside from the discipline required to practice, I learned to interpret complex emotions and feelings that these composers infused in their work.
