About

Image placeholder

I am a Computer Science and Software Engineering Master’s student at Auburn University, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Engineering. I currently serve as a Graduate Assistant with the Auburn University Libraries Innovation & Research Commons, where I support the Virtual Reality Area and contribute to research-driven VR applications using Unity and C#. My master’s thesis focuses on Large Language Models (LLMs) and their application to language learning, allowing me to explore AI research and the development of intelligent systems. My experience spans software engineering, research, cybersecurity, cloud computing, IT, and technical leadership, with hands-on work developing applications, analyzing software, and supporting emerging technologies.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, where I enjoy applying creative problem-solving to complex technical challenges. I also have a strong interest in data science, cloud infrastructure, computer networking, and immersive technologies.

Outside of work I love keeping up with the developments of science & technology. I also enjoy fitness, watching and playing sports, especially basketball & listening to music.

Case study · 02

NASA APOD Explorer

An enhanced version of NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, wired to the open NASA API for real-time astronomical content.

Problem

Static astronomy pages quickly go stale. Users wanted a browsable, always-fresh experience that surfaced NASA's daily imagery and metadata.

Solution

Integrated NASA's public APOD API with vanilla JavaScript, added date-based navigation, and rendered rich media with graceful fallbacks for videos vs. images.

Key achievements
