AI/ML Researcher & Software Engineer
Building intelligent systems at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and environmental science. Working on NSF-funded wildfire research and hyperspectral image analysis within the $20M SMART FIRES initiative.
I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Montana State University, where I work on AI/ML-driven approaches to wildfire science. My research sits at the intersection of hyperspectral remote sensing, deep learning, and environmental modeling.
As part of the NSF SMART FIRES project — a $20M multi-institutional initiative with 32 researchers — I develop machine learning models for fuel type classification, burn intensity prediction, and surrogate emission modeling from hyperspectral imagery.
Before my research career, I spent 5+ years as a senior software engineer at Accenture and Brillio, shipping production-grade e-commerce platforms and AI recommendation systems. I bring both research depth and engineering pragmatism to every problem.
Open to research collaborations, speaking opportunities, and interesting engineering problems. Whether you're working on AI, environmental modeling, or something entirely different — I'd love to connect.
