About Me
I'm a software engineer who works across full-stack development and AI. At Intuigence AI I build LLM evaluation pipelines, automated regression tests, and internal tooling for the engineering team.
I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from UCLA in 2026, after a B.S. in Computer Science from California State University, Long Beach.
