My Work
Research: Emotional Triggers
For my undergraduate honors thesis, I designed and built a Natural Language Processing (NLP) system capable of identifying an individual's emotional triggers from a set of short journal entries. I presented this research at two conference-style poster sessions, and received a lot of encouraging feedback!

IPELINT Patent Rejection Prediction
For our Texas A&M Computer Science Capstone project, my team worked with IPELINT to develop an AI system to predict certain types of United States patent rejections — we finished development with 95.1% accuracy on tested patents.
This project won First Place in Computer Science at the 2025 Texas A&M Engineering Project Showcase!

Saudi Community Hub
A web application for Saudi students at Texas A&M to connect with each other and find resources. This app was developed with a team of CSCE students for a real-world client, the Texas A&M Saudi Students Association. As the Product Owner, I learned a lot about communicating with stakeholders to capture the "vision" for a desired product, and communicating that vision with the team in order to bring it into reality.

About Me
I'm a software developer and creative writer passionate about problem-solving and communication. I've just graduated from Texas A&M University, and I'm seeking opportunities in software development. I thrive on diverse challenges that keep my brain on its toes (the anatomy checks out... I swear).
My aspirations are largely research-oriented. I'd love to work specifically on researching the ethics of new AI applications. As our technology evolves faster and faster, we need our understanding of its impact to keep pace — we don't want to discover a potential catastrophe after it's already happened.
But at the same time, I want to be contributing to AI solutions that help people — I think there's a lot of potential for AI to revolutionize mental health and education if done safely.
With all that being said, I know it's rather ambitious to expect to be doing this kind of work with only a bachelor's degree, so I'm open to any opportunities that come my way. I'm considering a Ph.D in the future to explore this further, if necessary.
