I'm a Software Associate at Infosys and a recent University of Connecticut grad (May 2025). I write Java at work and Python or TypeScript for personal projects. Python was my first language and still my favorite. I love taking ideas and turning them into real products. If I'm using software that doesn't quite fit how I work, my first instinct is to make my own. File2PDF came from that. So did Comic Chronicler. When I'm reading comics, I'm always asking questions about continuity and character history. I'm curious by nature, and I wanted a research tool that actually worked the way my brain does, so I built one. Newington Atlas came together when I realized my hometown didn't have a proper digital guide. I thought it'd be genuinely useful for residents and people thinking about moving there, so I put it together in a week. That's what I like about programming: you can build your way out of problems. When I'm not in front of a screen, I'm golfing, at the gym, or with friends and family.

Projects
Building a Machine Learning Model to Interpret Virtual X-Ray Diffraction Patterns (Senior Design)
Our team built an end-to-end pipeline that runs the lab’s Fortran binning and LAMMPS XRD on UConn’s HPC, ingests the outputs, and predicts phase fractions. We focused on preprocessing automation, dataset assembly/QC, and model development (SVR, CNN, & Random Forest). The tuned SVR (RBF) achieved R² = 0.998, turning a manual, expert-only review into a fast, repeatable workflow that held up across temperature test sets.
File-2-PDF Converter
Convert different types of files to PDF without needing to use online services or paying for software. All conversions happen directly on your computer - your files are never uploaded to any servers or shared with anyone.
Mac Health Analyzer
A macOS system monitoring and startup management tool built with Python and PyQt6. Monitor system resources in real-time, manage startup items (login items, launch agents, launch daemons), and view detailed process information with CPU and memory statistics. GUI with live charts and recommendations for system optimization.
Work
| Role | Organization | Dates | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Software Associate | Infosys | June 2025–present | New grad role, working on different projects using different languages and frameworks. |
| InStep Intern | Infosys | 05/2024–07/2024 | During my internship, I analyzed market data and emerging technologies to propose practical solutions for providers and alternate care sites. I developed a product pitch that integrated AI and cloud and I conducted data analysis to pinpoint where GenAI, cloud, and API integrations could meaningfully improve workflows and outcomes. I also trained in and worked within Agile/Scrum, working closely with industry mentors and fellow interns to plan, iterate, and deliver. |
| Summer Intern | Express Kitchens | 05/2023–08/2023 | I helped build a web scraping tool to automate data retrieval from 10+ websites, significantly reducing manual data entry time. I scraped data such as cabinets, door styles, SKUs, kitchen lines, suppliers, and prices from websites and exported the data into Excel spreadsheets. Additionally, I worked with the IT department to automate data scraping and other tasks, including obtaining Google reviews and contractor reviews. |
