CS student at UT Austin passionate about AI, robotics, machine learning, and building software that solves real problems. I do research in robot learning with Texas Robotics, develop scalable production systems, and create innovative solutions that bridge hardware and software. Experienced with parallel computing, GPU acceleration, and autonomous systems.

Research Assistant — Texas Robotics, UT Austin  Jan 2026 – Present

Conducting robot learning research via the Freshman Research Initiative. Training autonomous agents in Robosuite using Python, NumPy & ROS. Building a 75+ demonstration HDF5 dataset to study how behavioral cloning generalizes across diverse manipulation tasks.

CTO — EcoCents  Aug 2023 – Aug 2024

Led development of a recycling incentive platform with a reverse vending machine + app companion. Designed UI/UX in Figma, implemented barcode scanning & gamification, engaged ~100 users. Won Houston Startup Award.

Software Member — FIRST Robotics, Westlake High School  Aug 2021 – May 2025

Contributed to 16 regional/state awards across 4 seasons including Championships and a Texas State Division title. Built LED signal systems, implemented computer vision for object/AprilTag detection, and developed autonomous path planning algorithms.

Researcher — UT Austin High School Research Academy  Jun 2024 – Jul 2024

Analyzed bat emergence patterns at Congress Avenue Bridge using R and RStudio. Performed exploratory data analysis on cloud cover, temperature, and humidity datasets.

Student Researcher — UC Irvine Research Mentorship Program  Dec 2022 – Mar 2023

Studied declining memory in older adults with cognitive impairment and neurological diseases. Used MATLAB and Python for data processing and task construction in computational neuroscience.

UTransport  Spring 2026  

Real-time campus transportation request app for UT Austin — connecting students with SureWalk escorts and PTS medical pickups through a live dispatch interface. Built with Expo Router, real-time Firestore listeners, role-based routing, and animated route simulation using react-native-reanimated. Zero backend infrastructure required—all logic lives in Firestore security rules.

PRISM  2026  

Robotics imitation-learning project built around Robosuite + MuJoCo. Collects keyboard teleoperation demonstrations, stores trajectories in HDF5 format, and trains a Behavioral Cloning policy with PyTorch for manipulation tasks. Includes both scripted baselines and end-to-end evaluation pipeline.

VLM-Evaluator  2026  

Browser-based dashboard for benchmarking Video Large Language Models on sequential manipulation tasks. Privacy-first design with 100% local video frame extraction via HTML5 Canvas. Multi-model support (OpenAI, Google Gemini, GitHub Models, Qwen) with deep analytics, error tagging, and head-to-head comparison matrices. Portable sessions with JSON export for collaboration.

ScholarSync  Dec 2023 – May 2025  

iOS app that aggregates scholarship opportunities from across the web into a single, intuitive interface. Concurrently scrapes Fastweb, Scholarships.com, and Scholarships360 with SwiftSoup, merges results, and surfaces detailed scholarship views with bookmarking. Built entirely native in Swift with async/await concurrency and zero backend infrastructure.

University of Texas at Austin  Aug 2025 – May 2028 B.S. Computer Science
