About Me
I'm a Masters student in Computer Science at the University of the Pacific, bringing over 6 years of industry experience in software development to the world of AI/ML.
My journey spans from bioinformatics visualization tools and enterprise B2B applications to cutting-edge Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and wearable health monitoring. I bridge the gap between research and production-ready AI.
Currently researching modular conversational AI architectures and fall detection using multi-sensor wearable data — building systems that are technically rigorous and practically impactful.
