001 About

The person
behind the work.

I'm a final-year CS student at Brooklyn College, graduating May 2026. I've spent these years building, not just studying, from AI analytics platforms to satellite imagery pipelines, I chase problems that are genuinely hard.

Currently lead developer on AffyMind, a TikTok Shop analytics platform under contract with Reef Labs. This summer I join Ursa Space Systems as an AI Software Engineer Intern, working on geospatial AI for real SAR satellite data.
