I like to build agents that think, so we humans can create

Bio

Hey! I'm a Sophmore Computer Scientist major at UTDThe University of Texas at Dallas and I am a builder at heart. I thrive in taking concepts for automation in workflows, engineering it into reality, then seeing it solve a real problem.
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Science (my minor) where I study how people think so I can build systems that work intuitively for them. Whether it's architecting autonomous agents or building tools that people actually use, I focus on the human impact of the code I write.
This drive comes from the resilience and discipline I've built from on the , traits that I translate well over to professional environments.
