Professional Experience

Co-founder & Software Lead

Leading ML development for transparent AI in orthopedics - revolutionizing value-based care. Built explainable models for TKA outcome prediction with SHAP explanations and FHIR integration.

Electrical Engineering Intern

Designed and built a complete relay/driver/thermocouple test fixture from scratch (mechanical fixturing, wiring, and enclosure) and created a custom Altium PCB integrating communications and power. Programmed a microcontroller in Embedded C to automate the full testing sequence, collect and log measurement data, and provide a simple user-friendly interface to run and monitor tests — cutting the test cycle by ~4 hours.

Undergraduate Researcher

Prototyped Bayesian obstacle detection in MATLAB with ROS integration; developed drivers for multibeam sonar backseat interface; worked within VT CMAR's focus on autonomous marine vehicles and sensing.

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant

Helped students understand embedded system concepts and debug microcontroller code. Developed most of the final project for ECE2564 (Embedded Systems).

Undergraduate Researcher

Sensor shield for force acquisition, filtering/calibration; CAN messaging; encoder interfaces (quadrature/absolute). Emphasis on reliable data capture for mechatronic systems.
