AI engineer and educator who builds, teaches, scopes, and translates. I ship production AI solutions with Claude and turn non-technical colleagues into confident AI users.
I have built end-to-end agents, automations, internal tools, evaluation harnesses, and integrations on Claude API, LangChain, and AWS serving 200+ faculty and administrators across a public university, and run trainings for 180+ people, from middle-school summer campers to graduate students to senior faculty. I am energized by ambiguity, resource constraints, and wearing multiple hats, and I exercise judgment to catch wrong answers and push back when something should not be built.

Building with Claude. Agents, automations, and internal tools on the Claude API and Anthropic SDK: MCP, tool use, structured outputs, and agentic workflows that non-technical people can actually operate after handoff.
Agentic systems and evaluation. Multi-agent orchestration with LangChain and LangGraph, plus the evaluation harnesses (LLM-as-Judge, RAGAS, LangSmith) that turn "did the AI work?" into concrete metrics stakeholders trust.
RAG that stays grounded. Retrieval pipelines with inline citations and judgment layers that refuse low-confidence answers and flag policy-sensitive questions for human review.
AI enablement. Runbooks, onboarding guides, and training sessions that turn colleagues into the AI go-to people on their teams.
AI/ML Engineer — Northern Arizona University (Jan 2025 – Present) Built and deployed agents, automations, internal tools, and integrations on Claude API + LangChain + AWS, including RAG pipelines, LLM-powered dashboards, and agentic workflows used by 200+ faculty and administrators. Improved model accuracy ~30% and reduced token usage ~40% through prompt engineering, retrieval tuning, and selective model routing.
Research Assistant, AI Agents & Deep Learning — NAU (Feb 2026 – Present) Applied research on observability and anomaly detection in multi-agent AI communication systems; preparing peer-reviewed publication on agentic AI observability and self-refinement patterns.
Teaching — NAU (Jan 2025 – Present) TA for Python & Deep Learning (100+ grad students) and Advanced Python (80+ grad students); Semester Zero peer mentor teaching responsible AI use to middle-school students.
EthicAI — Classroom AI Literacy Toolkit for K-12 Educators Prompt-coaching assistant, AI-output verifier, and teacher dashboard with guardrails via system prompts, Pydantic structured outputs, and content filtering. 96% appropriate-refusal rate across 200+ test prompts. Claude API, LangChain, Streamlit.
OfficeHours — Internal AI Assistant for University Workflows RAG pipeline (Amazon Bedrock embeddings + FAISS) grounding every response in verified institutional documents with inline citations, plus a judgment layer that refuses low-confidence answers. 92% accuracy on a 150-question test set; serves 200+ users. Claude API, Bedrock, LangChain.
