Built to Learn
Driven by curiosity to understand how complex worlds connect, I’m crossing AI, mathematics, and biology to build a deep, foundational understanding of both intelligent systems and life itself.
AI is the most transformative technology of our lifetime. Initially, I was a CS major, but when I saw Adelphi had a standalone AI major, I immediately switched.
Why? Because I believe wholeheartedly in the potential this technology has to do good. Because I've read extensively about its possibilities and built projects that put those ideas into practice. Because I understand the math and technology behind it and believe it can be improved even more.
Studying AI so deeply gives me a new perspective on things — by seeing so many different facets of this technology, I understand it, how it works, and how it can be used. I'm constantly motivated to learn more, as I want to be one of the leaders shaping the field and contributing to it.
Academic Highlights
Hands App Prototype
Adelphi Scholarship & Creative Works Conf.Presented with one of my best friends. We showcased 'Hands,' an app meant to solve the paradox of students not being able to get a job because they lack experience, and not being able to get experience because they don't have a job. Though just a work in progress, it received a great reception and sparked amazing interactions.
Disease Spread Modeling
Adelphi Scholarship & Creative Works Conf.For my second presentation, I worked with classmates to model the spread of disease using Ordinary Differential Equations and an SIR model. This project gave me first-hand experience in taking theoretical math from academia and applying it directly to a real-world situation.
Teaching Gradient Descent
Selected by ProfessorMy professor, knowing how deeply interested I am in Gradient Descent, gave me the opportunity to explain it to my classmates. I explained everything from the formula, what it meant, its applications, and why it mattered in the greater scheme of things. It was a great experience and everyone understood it perfectly.
Never Done
Learning
I'm focused on developing a deep understanding of the logic behind what I'm building. Every class, every late night, every concept I wrestle with is building toward something bigger. The way I see it, the sharper I get now, the more I'll be able to build, contribute, and give back when it counts.
