AI Research Engineer | Trustworthy Agentic Systems | Verification Engineering
PhD Candidate in Computer Science at Clarkson University. Independent AI Research Engineer at Kymera Systems LLC. Based in San Antonio, Texas.
I develop multi-agent research prototypes, verification workflows, and scientific software. My work connects model orchestration, tools, and agent memory with provenance and reproducible evaluation. Applications include biometric measurement, computer vision, and autonomous navigation.
