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 Google's Gemini 2.0 API 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.
