- RAG pipeline over 11 medical guidelines with live PubMed search via NCBI API
- Multi-model LLM support with automatic fallback (Claude Haiku → Gemini → OpenRouter)
AI-powered drug-target interaction predictor that computationally screens whether a drug molecule will bind to a protein target in under 500ms, trained on 30K+ experimentally validated interactions.
- 0.935 AUROC on Davis Kinase Dataset with XGBoost on 2,483-dimensional feature vectors
- SHAP explainability for every prediction — critical for scientific trust
- Similar drug search using Tanimoto similarity over known compounds
Data-driven analysis tool examining whether prediction markets accurately forecast outcomes, analyzing 600+ resolved markets from Metaculus and Manifold.
- Analyzed 600+ resolved markets with calibration testing

The Prison You Built Inside Yourself
TEDxUniversityofMiami
I was honored to be selected to give a TEDx talk, and when I thought about what I wanted to speak on, I kept coming back to something I had been noticing in myself and in the people around me.
I've seen how often we stop ourselves before anyone else has to
— how constant visibility, feedback, and imagined judgment teach us to rehearse our thoughts, soften our opinions, and abandon risks quietly.
This talk explores
how systems shape behavior, how performance replaces sincerity, and how that shift affects creativity, relationships, and decision-making.
The Central Question
What might change if we allowed ourselves to be unfinished in public?
?Honors & Recognition
Awards and scholarships that have shaped my journey.

Stamps Scholarship
Being named a Stamps Scholar is one of the honors I'm most grateful for. It gave me not just financial support, but a community of driven peers who push me to think bigger every day.
Awarded to exceptional high school seniors who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential.

Omicron Delta Kappa
Being inducted into ODK was a moment of reflection—recognizing that leadership isn't just about what you do, but how you bring people together across different backgrounds and perspectives.
Robert Bates Cole Award
Winning this award meant more to me than I expected. It's not just about logging volunteer hours—it's about the quiet, consistent work of showing up for your community.
This award recognizes students who exemplify integrity and dedication through exceptional participation in community service. For me, service has never been about recognition—it's about the people you help along the way.
