AI-driven electronic waste classification

• Researching AI-driven electronic waste classification, building a computer vision system that identifies materials like circuit boards and copper wiring to automate recycling workflows.
• Built a TensorFlow and MobileNetV2 transfer-learning classifier that currently reaches about 90% validation accuracy, supported by a backend data pipeline that cut research processing time by 50%.
• The work has shown me how much of an AI problem is a data problem before it is ever a modeling problem.

Java control software

• Engineered real-time backend control software in Java for a competitive robotics system, improving autonomous accuracy by 35% and cutting operational errors by 30%.
• Built autonomous decision-making logic and real-time sensor processing loops that integrated multiple sensor inputs simultaneously.
• This was my first real exposure to software that has to work correctly the first time, under a clock, with no chance to patch it mid-match.

Identity access and authentication systems

• Selected among 13 student consultants supporting Alfred University's production technical systems for a user base of over 2,000 people.
• Troubleshoot identity access and authentication issues using Azure Entra ID, separating config problems, user errors, and issues that need escalation to senior engineers.
• The role has taught me how to explain technical problems clearly to people who do not think in technical terms.
