As a Generative AI Engineer at Vanderbilt's Institute for Software Integrated Systems, I lead the
development of Amplify,
an open-source enterprise AI platform that serves over 18,000 users across multiple universities.
Working alongside globally-leading
AI expert Jules White, I architect and implement innovative features including memory systems, RAG
Fusion systems, and advanced
monitoring tools. My role extends beyond technical development to include providing AI leadership
through workshops and training
sessions, including personal AI coaching for Vanderbilt's Chancellor.
My journey in technology began during my time at Vanderbilt University, where I combined rigorous academic work with practical experience. As an IT Intern at Aimbridge Hospitality, I demonstrated my ability to tackle complex enterprise challenges by developing automation solutions that saved the company hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. This experience taught me the importance of creating scalable, efficient solutions that deliver real business value.
I am also actively involved in advancing the field of AI through research and publications. As a primary author and co-author of multiple papers focusing on LLM capabilities and prompt engineering, I contribute to the growing body of knowledge in AI and software engineering. My research has been recognized through successful grant acquisitions, including a Phase 1 DARPA grant for cybersecurity visualization applications using LLMs.
I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI technology while ensuring its practical application in enterprise settings. Whether developing new AI systems, conducting research, or mentoring others, I remain committed to creating solutions that make a meaningful impact.
