About Me

I am a Ph.D. student focusing in Cybernetic Systems & Artificial Intelligence at the University of Florida, advised by Dr. Alina Zare.

While obtaining my M.Eng. degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Florida, I conducted research as a Graduate Research Assistant in the GatorSense Machine Learning & Sensing Lab on the NEON Macrosystems project. I also worked closely with Dr. Joel Harley in the SmartDATA Lab.

I received my B.S degree in Civil & Structural Engineering from the University of Florida and had a successful career as a civil engineer across many focuses, finishing in heavy industrial and marine engineering specializing in bridge design, construction and inspection. From the experience gained, I developed interest in electrical and computer systems that drive the wide variety of means and method industry technologies.

My 5+ years of experience includes machine learning, engineering design, product/hardware development in microprocessor applications, data transfer compression, QCQA inspection, manufacturing optimization, and project management. Much of which learned while working with L3Harris handling hardware and software engineering testing of processors on several secure projects.

Current research interests pertain to Cybernetic Systems, AI, Computer Vision, Deep Learning and their military and SAR applications; focusing on basic to advanced architectures of supervised and unsupervised deep neural networks to aid in complex task completion and advisory aspects of time orientied, strategic, physical world challenges.
