PROJECTS
Caliber Collision Fraud Detection
Self-taught Python pre-ChatGPT to write a fraud detection script that cross-referenced insurance payout amounts against what the shop actually received. Identified systemic discrepancies that recovered $70,000 for the shop.
READ MORE →TracerBot
Designed and built an autonomous, 3D-printed tank robot with tracked drive and turret using Raspberry Pi. Integrated OpenCV with a custom image classification model for real-time target locking and tracking. Enabled multi-interface control via SSH, HTTP server, and custom radio-based communication module.
READ MORE →Vulnerability Remediation
Developed an AI/ML pipeline using AWS SageMaker and Google T5 NLP to automatically generate actionable remediation instructions for security vulnerabilities. Reduced manual triage time by transforming raw CVE data into structured, context-aware guidance for engineering teams across Centene Corporation's enterprise infrastructure.
READ MORE →Oasis Shield
Led the migration of critical on-premise mail service infrastructure to AWS, consolidating multiple microservices into a scalable cloud architecture. Supported enterprise workflows including fax, document scanning, and prior authorizations across Centene Corporation, improving reliability, maintainability, and system scalability.
READ MORE →CenTag
Designed and built a secure QR-based attendance system using Angular, Python, and AWS to replace manual check-ins at corporate events. Successfully pitched the project to HR leadership, resulting in corporate funding and adoption by Centene Corporation in June 2025 for enterprise-wide event management.
READ MORE →CenMap
Developed an essential internal tool leveraging graph theory to map and visualize all of Centene's resources across systems. Designed to provide service owners, managers, and executive leadership with clear insight into resource relationships, enabling more effective optimization and decision-making. Widely adopted across the organization, CenMap has proven invaluable at scale, with both CenMap and CenTag successfully productionalized.
READ MORE →Wardy Foundation
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bringing access to STEM education across North and South Carolina. Focused on creating opportunities and resources to bridge the educational gap in underserved communities, empowering students with the tools and knowledge needed to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
READ MORE →Electronics Education
Founded and led a first-of-its-kind initiative at the University of South Carolina to bridge the gap in electronics education for non-electrical engineering students. Launched with a 35+ student workshop where participants, many starting from zero experience, left capable of soldering and integrating hardware into their own projects. Secured over $7,000 in equipment through cross-department collaboration between computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering.
READ MORE →Window Project
Developed a system to analyze foot traffic and engagement outside the lab by distinguishing between passersby and individuals actively observing the space. Generated actionable marketing data quantifying impressions per hour, enabling the lab to position itself as a high-value advertising and engagement location.
READ MORE →Project First Pitch
Developing a high-pressure launch system integrating the Boston Dynamics Spot API, ESP32 microcontrollers, and a custom air cannon to execute a ceremonial first pitch at a USC Night minor league baseball game. A complex, high-risk system combining robotics, embedded control, and mechanical design under real-world constraints.
READ MORE →CAELUS
Building an autonomous drone capable of executing missions from start to finish without GPS or human intervention. Focused on real-time perception, onboard decision-making, and fully independent navigation in constrained environments.
