Summary
Computer Science senior at UCF who leads AI systems from requirements through deployment and evaluation. Project manager and technical lead for a five-person team delivering a cited, permission-aware retrieval agent into a live enterprise environment, where I built the evaluation suite and grading rubric that redirected the team's critical path. Independently researching where automated build inference holds and where it breaks. Comfortable owning the interface too — React and TypeScript, accessible semantic HTML, and this site, hand-built. Looking for technical project lead or applied AI research work.
Education
Experience
Project Manager & Technical Lead — Knights Counsel
– Present · UCF Senior Design, Sponsored Capstone · Orlando, FL
- Lead a five-person team building a permission-aware AI document-retrieval assistant for a university legal office, deployed in the client's Microsoft 365 tenant against a live document corpus.
- Designed and built the retrieval agent end to end: two-agent topology, specified behavioral requirements, grounding and citation enforcement, and a version-controlled configuration baseline.
- Built an 18-case evaluation suite and a custom grading rubric after finding the platform's built-in grader scored answer rate rather than designed behavior; results redirected the team's critical path.
- Co-authored the project's technical white paper; sole author of the system design and behavior specification sections.
Undergraduate Research Assistant — Hardening Build Systems
– · University of Central Florida · Orlando, FL
- Diagnosed build failures by hand across six build systems (Autotools, Make, CMake, Maven, Gradle, Ant), including undeclared JDK version and compiler-flag requirements.
- Built the tooling that turns raw experimental output into LaTeX-ready tables and pgfplots figures used in project reporting.
- Supported reproducible workflows by organizing datasets, validating results, and documenting analysis steps.
Research Assistant — Human Factors Group Study
– · University of Central Florida · Orlando, FL
- Ran experimental sessions studying how programmers debug code in groups, contributing to data collection workflow and study setup.
- Instrumented participants with biometric equipment (heart rate, respiration, skin conductance, gaze tracking, prefrontal cortex blood oxygenation) to improve measurement quality across sessions.
Swim Instructor and Lifeguard — Rosen Aquatic and Fitness Center
– Present · Orlando, FL
- Teach small-group lessons across all ages and ability levels, from water survival through competitive swimming, communicating across age groups and language barriers in a safety-critical setting.
Projects
Build-Recipe Inference Agent
Python, Docker, Anthropic API, Linux · – Present
- Building a containerized LLM agent that infers and executes build recipes for unfamiliar source archives, selecting the build system, installing system and toolchain dependencies, and running each build phase in a fresh isolated container.
- Designing a cross-tool comparison running three build-inference systems over three program corpora to separate genuine capability from benchmark fit, evaluated against a hand-verified corpus of ~370 build recipes that I contributed to.
PocketProfessors
React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, JWT ·
- Led frontend UX for pack-opening and collection views: responsive grid, focus states, and ARIA labeling; collaborated on API shape and the JWT refresh lifecycle. Deployed at pocketprofessors.com.
FitnessFunctions
PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, JavaScript ·
- Solo-built role-based class enrollment system with admin and member dashboards, instructor and class CRUD, and capacity-aware enrollment backed by MySQL.
Personal Portfolio and Resume Site
HTML, CSS, JavaScript · 2025 – Present
- Hand-written with no framework; implements skip links, section-level ARIA labeling, reduced-motion support, visible focus outlines, and a per-project accent theme system.
