My Journey in Tech

As a Computer Science student at Gannon University, I've dedicated myself to exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and software development. My journey began with a fascination for how machines can learn and adapt, leading me to specialize in reinforcement learning and natural language processing.

From developing adversarial robustness models for Android malware detection achieving 97% accuracy, to architecting novel LLM reasoning frameworks with 60% performance improvements, I'm driven by the challenge of pushing technological boundaries while creating practical solutions.

As the Founder and President of the Gannon Codex Programming Club, I've grown our community to 50+ members, organizing AI/ML workshops and hackathons. My role as a CIS Lab Technician has taught me the importance of maintaining robust systems, achieving 95% lab uptime and reducing ticket resolution time by 30%.

"Technology is a canvas. I use it to explore ideas, solve problems, and build experiences. But beyond the code, there's a human story."
