Software Engineering · Applied AI · NLP
I build AI applications and explore how to evaluate their behavior. My projects span developer tools, software-engineering agents, and educational AI. I’m interested in understanding how these systems work and checking what they actually do.
AI Systems & Evaluation
Coding agents, retrieval systems, and evaluation of model behavior.
Educational AI
Question generation, question answering, and human evaluation of AI-supported writing.
Software & Data Tools
Developer progress reporting, structured-source comparison, and search-and-rescue simulation.
I hold an M.S. in Natural Language Processing from UC Santa Cruz and a B.S. in Applied Mathematics. My experience includes internships involving educational AI research and application development, alongside science education and outreach at Chabot Space and Science Center.
