I'm a first-generation college student from the South Bronx. I thrive at the intersection of physical systems and computation — CFD simulations, neural networks, and everything between.

My background spans AI model evaluation at Handshake (10K+ outputs, 15% accuracy gain), CFD radome optimization at JMA Wireless (≤10% wind-tunnel error), energy auditing, and soft-matter research.

I'm the engineer who understands both the physics and the code.
