🎓 CS student at USF (Aug 2023–Dec 2026/May 2027) with a deep passion for continuous learning and building with purpose.
I'm on a journey to master systems programming, security, and AI development — not just to build projects, but to understand how things work from the ground up.
I believe the best way to learn is through open-source contributions and real-world experience. That's why I'm actively seeking internship opportunities where I can grow alongside talented teams and contribute to meaningful projects.
- 🤖 AI & Automation: Local-first LLM pipelines, plugin architectures, and workflow tools
- 🧠 Systems Programming: Low-level development in Rust, C/C++ for performance-critical applications
- 🔐 Security & Privacy: Building secure infrastructure and robust verification tools
- 🛠️ Open Source: Contributing to projects and learning from the community
I learn best by building and contributing:
- Creating tools that solve real problems while mastering fundamentals
- Diving deep into how things work — from compilers to cryptography
- Sharing knowledge through open-source projects and documentation
- Embracing challenges as opportunities to grow
Currently exploring: Offline AI systems, trustworthy automation, and developer tooling that empowers rather than replaces
| Project | Description | Tech |
|---|---|---|
| 💰 Finlingo | AI Financial Assistant (w/ Plaid integration): Fully featured financial assistant with military-grade security | React Native + Expo & Express.js |
| ⚡️ LAO | Offline AI Workflow Orchestrator: Tunnel local LLMs, Whisper, and plugins together without the cloud. | Rust |
| 🛡️ Argus | Dir Integrity Tool: Transparent file auditing for OS internals. | Rust |
Languages: Java, Rust, C/C++, Python, TypeScript, and more
Learning Focus: Local & Non-local AI, privacy-first tools, systems internals, plugin architectures
Approach: Open-source collaboration, hands-on experimentation, and deep technical understanding
I'm actively seeking internships and collaborative projects where I can:
- Work with experienced engineers and learn from real-world codebases
- Contribute to open-source projects with meaningful impact
- Tackle challenging problems in systems, security, or AI/ML
- Grow as a developer while building reliable, production-quality software
Interests: Systems programming, security tooling, local-first AI, developer experience, infrastructure
I believe in learning by doing and that the best growth happens through collaboration. Whether it's contributing to open source, exploring new technologies, or solving hard problems — I'm always excited to connect with fellow developers and learners.
DMs open for OSS collaborations, internship opportunities, technical discussions, and projects that make a difference.
