Fall 2005 – Spring 2010

Studied Aerospace Engineering at UCF with a foundation in dynamics, control systems, fluid mechanics, and computational methods. The physics and math background from this program directly informs the image processing and signal analysis work I do today — algorithm design for sensor systems is applied physics at its core.

Fall 2001 – Spring 2005

The core of my work revolves around MATLAB and Simulink for algorithm prototyping, simulation design, and system-level performance analysis. I’ve built large-scale simulation environments that model threat scenarios, sensor physics, and image processing pipelines end-to-end. For performance-critical implementations, I move to C++ and CUDA, targeting embedded and GPU-accelerated platforms.

My primary languages are MATLAB, C++, and Python, with CUDA for GPU-parallel workloads. I’m comfortable with Bash and shell scripting for automation, and I work across Windows, Linux, and macOS environments daily.

Outside of work, I run a homelab of self-hosted services including n8n (workflow automation), Ollama (local LLMs), Stable Diffusion (image generation), Gitea (git hosting), Traefik (reverse proxy), and more. I’m comfortable with Docker, networking, reverse proxies, and the kind of infrastructure-as-code thinking that keeps a self-hosted stack running reliably.

I have a longstanding interest in Arduino, raspberry pi, nvidia jetson and embedded programming, which ties into both my home automation hobby and my professional work. Understanding the hardware layer — constraints, timing, memory — makes me a better algorithm designer.
