Biography

Professional Philosophy
“I value reliability, clarity, and control in any system I build. A solution is not complete unless it can be debugged, extended, and trusted under stress. I prefer correct structure over short-term shortcuts. Efficiency matters, but only after a system is understandable and stable. My approach is test-driven and model-oriented: identify structure, remove weak points, and iterate until behavior is predictable. Pressure does not disrupt good systems - it reveals them.”
Academic & Technical Focus
Statistical Modeling
Regression, classification, inference, predictive analytics, and probabilistic reasoning.
Stochastic Systems
Random processes, simulation modeling, uncertainty quantification, and probabilistic dynamics.
Machine Learning
Supervised learning, feature engineering, evaluation pipelines, and optimization.
Computational Engineering
Numerical methods, algorithm design, and performance-aware software systems.
Selected Work
Product-level engineering and research systems designed for reliability and scale.
ResidentPark OS
Built a multi-role residential parking and property-management platform with resident, admin, and superadmin workflows. Designed server-side RBAC, PostgreSQL Row-Level Security, transactional database operations, audit workflows, and automated unit, database, security, and end-to-end testing.
EECAA Platform
Founded EECAA and engineered a full-stack platform supporting 50+ active members. Built custom content management features, role-based access control, event/media workflows, and backend logic for organization operations.
Chess Outcome Prediction
Built a supervised learning pipeline to predict chess game outcomes from early-game features extracted from Lichess PGN games. Focused on feature engineering, model comparison, class imbalance, and interpretation.
Chess Structure Clustering
Explored whether chess games naturally form structural clusters using engineered early-game features. Compared PCA, K-Means, GMM, Agglomerative Clustering, and DBSCAN to study tactical, structural, and opening-family patterns.
Chess CNN Explainability
Analyzed a chess-position CNN using Saliency Maps, Integrated Gradients, Grad-CAM, occlusion testing, and stability checks to compare explanation faithfulness and model behavior.
Chess Counterfactual XAI
Studied counterfactual explanations for a chess-position CNN by testing how one-piece board interventions change model predictions. Used saliency as baseline and counterfactual search to expose decision-boundary fragility.
PageRank Numerical Linear Algebra
Implemented PageRank as a sparse numerical linear algebra project in MATLAB, using transition matrices, dangling-node correction, damping-factor comparison, and power iteration/direct-solve validation.
Okhten Group LLC
Founded a Florida-based web studio and launched a production business website with multilingual service pages, pricing, legal pages, sitemap, canonical metadata, and lead-generation workflows for small local businesses.
Darhaal Games Platform
Engineered a real-time multiplayer games platform tested with 70+ concurrent users across multiple sessions. Designed low-latency state synchronization using WebSockets and built an extensible architecture supporting multiple games.
USCIS Civics Test Prep
Built a mobile-first web app for USCIS civics test preparation with quiz mode, flashcards, typo-tolerant answer checking, location-based civics answers, and local progress tracking.
Experience & Education
Intern
Contributing to the development and evaluation of AI-powered applications within an R&D environment. Working with large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents, vector search, and AI testing and evaluation workflows, collaborating with engineers on validation, debugging, and iterative improvement of AI systems.
Founder / Full-Stack Developer
Founded a Florida-based web studio building mobile-friendly websites, local SEO-ready pages, contact and booking flows, and lightweight digital systems for small local businesses. Launched the company website, Google Search Console setup, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn company page, and outreach lead workflows.
Founder & President / Full-Stack Engineer
Founded and currently lead EECAA, scaling membership to 50+ active members while establishing governance and operational structure. Engineered and deployed a full-stack platform for automated news, events, and media management, designing system architecture with role-based access control and backend concurrency handling.
Math & Physics Tutor
Tutored 300+ students in differential equations, linear algebra, calculus, statistics, and introductory physics through one-on-one support, group review sessions, and structured visual problem-solving strategies.
