A Little About Me

I'm a student at Adelphi University where I'm pursuing a Bachelor's in Artificial Intelligence.

I'm a very passionate and disciplined person. Every day (except Saturdays) I wake up at 5:30am to start my day early. I like to engage in deep focus sessions whether it's to study or build a project of my own, and am always looking to optimize my performance.

I genuinely believe I can change the world for the better, and that belief drives my pursuit of excellence.

Community

AI Society

In my first year at Adelphi University, I founded the Adelphi AI Society with my best friends and currently serve as its president. We noticed a gap on campus, no community where students could explore AI together, and decided to build one.

Our mission is to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the age of AI. Through a strong social media presence and engaging meetings and events, our team has built this into one of the best clubs on campus.

📄
24th World Congress of Psychotherapy • NYC 2026

Co-Author, Applied AI Research

Co-authored a research study evaluated at a major international psychotherapy congress, assessing large language models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, LLaMA, Gemma) as automated clinical scoring tools compared to expert human ratings on the Experiencing Scale (EXP).

📊
Adelphi Summer Institute in Mathematical Epidemiology • Summer 2026

Machine Learning Research Internship — ASIME

Applied machine learning to clinical epidemiological datasets (diabetes, Parkinson's, COVID-19, and heart disease) with high school researchers — engineering full ML pipelines using PCA dimensionality reduction, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forests, cross-validation, and F1-score optimization.

How I Think

Mental Workspace

A collection of notes, frameworks, and essays I use to structure my thinking, cut through the noise, and solve complex problems.

Thinking Systems

Systems over outcomes. Over time, I've adopted mental models to cut through the digital noise, learn complex subjects rapidly, and build with focus.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio

Filtering daily inputs to focus purely on what is mission-critical.

Context Block Architecture

Structuring deep focus windows to avoid context-switching.

First Principles Thinking

Decomposing complex problems to fundamental truths and rebuilding.

Continuous Learning

Building Foundations

A reflection of my curiosity outside the classroom. These courses and credentials help me build a foundational understanding of areas that catch my interest—from AI to economics.
