AI Engineer, RentMate · Senior at Purdue

I’m a senior at Purdue, graduating in May 2027. I’m also an AI engineer at RentMate, where I work on agent behavior and, most recently, our mobile app. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me playing video games, hanging out with friends, or trying whatever new restaurant or cafe I’ve been meaning to check out.
