Build clearly. Test deeply. Ship responsibly.

I am a computer science student focused on full-stack engineering, scientific computing, and technical mentorship.

My work ranges from real-time collaboration products and secure development tooling to image-analysis pipelines and numerical research workflows. I care about reproducible systems, accessible interfaces, and engineering decisions that hold up under real use.

At Alabama A&M University and through research programs, I combine software engineering fundamentals with practical cloud, data, and AI development experience.

Software Engineering Intern

AMPLIFY Program · DOE TN-QuMat Consortium

  • Developed a Python and OpenCV pipeline to estimate nanofiber diameters from dense microscopy-image networks using random cropping, connected-component analysis, and distance transforms.
  • Designed synthetic and SEM-like datasets to evaluate accuracy across diameter, resolution, segmentation, and density conditions, recovering known diameters within approximately 1–2 pixels.
  • Automated size-distribution plots, validation figures, and CSV reports for reproducible end-to-end analysis.
