MS Human-Computer Interaction (CMU) | BS Computer Engineering + CS minor (UTSA)
Engineer across software, hardware, AI and XR. Experience in ML/CV, XR prototyping, mobile, and full-stack systems. Fast learner and strong builder. I like projects where I can connect multiple disciplines, ship something real, and keep learning.
Especially when it means turning messy problems into usable tools
