01 / MY STORY

Why I build

My dad is a chip designer, and he's the reason I got into tech. I grew up around someone who loved how things work, and that rubbed off on me.

The first thing I built that really hooked me was a script that made a robot navigate a course. Watching code turn into something moving in the real world made me want to keep building.

These days I'm a computer science student at Wentworth, working a service desk co-op, and building side projects like Alex, JARVIS and a few games. I don't have much free time, so I plan my weeks carefully, but building is the part I'd choose to do anyway.

I'm looking for a co-op from January to May or June 2027, on a team that values working with AI agents. I'd love to end up as an AI engineer, and I'm also drawn to network, cloud and software engineering.

02 / WHAT I BUILD

Real AI systems

I am a Computer Science student and Service Desk Analyst Co-op building LLM systems on Azure and local models. My main project is Alex, a real phone line that talks to callers and files real ServiceNow tickets.

03 / HOW I WORK WITH AI

Claude Code, with a map first

I build with Claude Code and other agentic coding workflows, with automated code review as a check. I keep a graphify knowledge graph of each codebase and query it before opening files, so the agent reads only what matters.

04 / HOMELAB AND LOCAL MODELS

A Raspberry Pi 5 lab

I run a Raspberry Pi 5 lab. It hosts a small system monitor that asks a local Ollama model for analysis, and my JARVIS agent team runs on the local qwen2.5:7b model through Ollama.

05 / BEYOND THE LAB

School and certification

I am studying Computer Science at Wentworth Institute of Technology (expected May 2027) and made the Dean's List in Spring 2025 and Spring 2026. I also completed the Claude Code 101 certification from Claude Academy (Anthropic).
