About
The Bridge Between Product & Evaluation
I work in the space where software and research overlap. That usually means I'm building the product, evaluating the user experience, and implementing data-driven changes.
Selected work
Human–AI Training · U.S. Army Research Institute
Built a training task for human-AI operators to improve decision-making under operational constraints. Using focus groups and user interviews, I tested the system with soldiers and adjusted the task design accordingly.
Cognitive Assessment Platform · Cogmi
Co-founded and built a web-based cognitive performance platform using gamified performance assessments, behavioral telemetry, and an agentic AI system that translates performance signals into plain-language insights. Using web analytics, surveys, interviews, and A/B testing, iteratively improved the platform to meet user needs.
Math Anxiety in Virtual Reality · Learning Systems Institute, FSU
Does math anxiety differ between classroom and home settings? I partnered with LSI researchers to test this in VR by building out the environment, telemetry data collection, and study design. Qualitative data from focus groups and interviews informed the execution of the study. Quantitative data was collected via telemetry pipelines, task performance, and surveys.
Skills
Research
Mixed-methods research, experimental design, and UX research — interviews, usability studies, survey design (Qualtrics, Prolific), and focus groups. Comfortable with GLMs, ANOVA, regression, factor analysis, and power analysis. IRB-compliant from start to finish.
Engineering
Full-stack development in TypeScript/JavaScript (Next.js), Python, C++, and R. Database work across SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Supabase. Experience shipping on AWS and Vercel, building in Unreal Engine 4/5 and Unity, and working with WebRTC and PostHog analytics.
AI & data
LLM agents, NLP, computer vision, and machine learning. Data pipelines, behavioral telemetry, eye-tracking, and data visualization — usually in service of turning raw behavioral signals into something actionable.
