README

BACKGROUND

M.S. Computer Science @ UTRGV. Started with custom PCs and hardware repair, which grew into full-stack development, applied AI, and research.

Joining Textron Systems (Slidell, LA) this summer as an IT Analyst Intern — software, cybersecurity, and infrastructure IT.

RESEARCH

AI Research Assistant at UTRGV MECIS (NSF CREST) — computer vision, transportation AI, and graph-based risk modeling.

Lead on AD-SAM, a dual-encoder urban-scene segmentation model for autonomous driving, using deformable decoding and hybrid losses.

NASA-funded M.S. thesis on AAM flight-security risk: aircraft interactions from OpenSky ADS-B modeled as dynamic graph events.

BUILDS

STABLES — lead developer on a parking-management app covering 800+ spots across 3 lots. Built the Node/Express + PostgreSQL backend for live availability, reservations, and spatial double-booking prevention.

This portfolio — Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Framer Motion, PostgreSQL. Terminal-inspired with a full-stack contact pipeline and admin dashboard.
