    About

    With over 2 years of experience in a diverse range of technologies, complemented by courses in Neural Networks and Deep Reinforcement Learning, I am eager to contribute my skills towards making a positive impact on society.

    I have successfully deployed projects and presented to senior management at transit agencies, including notable figures such as the Lynchburg Deputy City Manager, Senior VP of Liberty University, HumanKind management, and the Regional VP of First Transit (now TransDev).

    In my spare time, I explore the synergy between hardware and creative design through robotics projects and 3D game design.
