Experience
Work
Summer 2026
Research Intern
University of Florida IoT4Ag Lab
- Building an NLP interface on UF's HiPerGator supercomputer using vLLM + Ollama to parse plain-language farmer queries into structured DSSAT crop simulation inputs
- Designed a LangGraph agent pipeline that classifies query intent (soil vs. cultivar), extracts phenological parameters, and auto-updates DSSAT input files
- Engineered 20+ unit tests covering ambiguous crop stage descriptions, missing soil horizon data, conflicting location-phenology pairs, and malformed date inputs
Spring 2026
Undergraduate Researcher
Georgia Institute of Technology advised by Diego Fratta
- Developed training data pipelines for Georgia Tech's ECE 2035 course AI tutoring system, cleaning and reformatting historical exam datasets to fine-tune a computer architecture domain-specific LLM.
- Created Python scripting to benchmark LLM performance across context retention, reasoning accuracy, and pedagogical alignment to identify the optimal model for guided, Socratic-style tutoring without direct answer leakage.
Spring 2025 - Fall 2025
Project Lead
Georgia Tech iOS Club
- Led 15 junior developers alongside other technical leads and subteams, delivering results in sprint cycles
