About Me

I'm a Computer Science graduate specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I work with modern AI frameworks, neural networks, and large language models, with hands-on experience in fine-tuning and evaluating LLMs.

As a Legal Intern at NYC Emergency Management, I develop full-stack applications and intelligent document processing systems using AI/ML technologies. I've built projects ranging from fine-tuned LLaMA models for specialized knowledge bases to neural networks for financial forecasting.

I'm passionate about leveraging AI to solve real-world problems and help organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence.
