a bit About me

powered by boba & curiosity

I'm an IT student who enjoys building things people actually use — from fine-tuned language models to full-stack web apps and data tools.

At George Mason, I'm concentrating in AI-Driven Solutions, with coursework in applied generative AI, machine learning, data visualization and databases. My recent work includes fine-tuning Llama 3.2 with QLoRA and building an AI study companion powered by Google Gemini.

Outside the classroom, I teach kids to code and build robots at RoboThink, and I help run daily operations as an assistant manager. Both have taught me to explain technical ideas clearly and stay calm when things break.
