I Transform Complex Challenges Into Human-Centered, Data-Driven Products That Create Real Impact
About Me
Building at the Intersection of Technology and Human Impact
My Journey
My path connects bioengineering, manufacturing quality, data science, and product strategy. I started by building bias-aware medical devices and improving quality systems on L'Oréal's manufacturing floor, then expanded into AI, analytics, and full-stack product development through my MS in Information Systems at UMD.
What I Do
Today, I build at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and product execution. As a Data Science Intern at The Brite Group, I've developed an explainable chest X-ray classification platform using deep learning, stacked modeling, Grad-CAM interpretability, and a FastAPI + React interface designed to make complex predictions easier to understand.
