I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at Owl AI in Boulder, Colorado, where I joined as the third engineer on the founding team, building real-time computer-vision systems for live sports broadcast — pickleball line calling for Major League Pickleball (on FOX, PickleballTV and YouTube) and trick tracking for X Games. The systems run on air, so my focus is reliability under real-time constraints: broadcast ingest, GPU inference, and instant on-screen graphics.

Before Owl AI I built segmentation and property-prediction models for nuclear materials at Idaho National Laboratory, and co-architected a Microsoft-certified RAG assistant and data pipelines at Phamax. I hold an MS in Computer Science from CU Boulder (graduated May 2026, GPA 3.94/4.00), where I was also a Teaching Assistant for Distributed Systems.
