      <h2 id="h-summary">Summary</h2>
      <p>
        Computer Science senior at the University of Central Florida (UCF) who leads artificial intelligence (AI) systems from requirements through deployment
        and evaluation. Project manager and technical lead for a five-person team delivering a
        cited, permission-aware retrieval agent into a live enterprise environment, where I built
        the evaluation suite and grading rubric that redirected the team's critical path.
        Independently researching where automated build inference holds and where it breaks.
        Comfortable owning the interface too: React and TypeScript, accessible semantic HTML, and
        this site, hand-built. Looking for technical project lead or applied AI research work.

          <li>Built an 18-case evaluation suite and a custom grading rubric after finding the platform's built-in grader scored answer rate rather than designed behavior; results redirected the team's critical path.</li>

        <ul>
          <li>Building a containerized large language model (LLM) agent that infers and executes build recipes for unfamiliar source archives, selecting the build system, installing system and toolchain dependencies, and running each build phase in a fresh isolated container.</li>
          <li>Designing a cross-tool comparison running three build-inference systems over three program corpora to separate genuine capability from benchmark fit, evaluated against a hand-verified corpus of ~370 build recipes that I contributed to.</li>
