Machine Learning
Achieved top 1% ranking on Hugging Face for the LunarLanderv2 competition; a physics-based simulation project where an AI agent is trained to autonomously land on the moon.
Scored in the top 2% on Kaggle for the Titanic ML competition. The goal of this competition is to train a machine learning model that can accurately predict which passengers survived the shipwreck.

About
I strive to maintain a focus on machine learning, cloud hardware and systems integration. Previously, I've worked with NAVINEO, a CAD/AVL transit solution, where I handled its integration into cloud environments and physical hardware like MDTs, VLUs, and tablets. Currently I assist clients with solutions for cloud hardware configurations that are scalable and ideal for HPC, LLMs and Deep Learning.
Independently, I've developed tools like AskLynchburg, an assistant for bus riders, and AskGLTC, a customer service chatbot that helped hundreds of riders. These projects involved Python, Flask, and machine learning frameworks like PyTorch, allowing me to build real-world solutions with a direct impact.
