Extracurriculars & Hobbies
Peer Success Coaching - Purdue Academic Success Center
As a Peer Success Coach (PSC), I provide Purdue undergraduate students an opportunity to meet one-on-one as they navigate the college environment and learn to succeed academically, socially, and personally. I meet with a pool of students weekly and biweekly to offer guidance while navigating life at Purdue.
I guide students through...
- Time management
- Life and career goals
- Study strategies and test preparation
- Connecting with campus resources and academic advisors
This opportunity has provided me with approaches on how to be an effective coach and mentor to students of a wide variety of disciplines and ages. I feel more confident engaging in productive, professional communication with my peers and am learning myself how to be a better student, son, leader, and person. I am thankful for this opportunity and am proud of the students I have helped succeed.

Education
I am a fourth year, Senior Computer Engineering student and am currently pursuing concentrations in artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and software engineering. Concentrations indicate a coursework focus on these topics as I finish my undergraduate degree. I completed my Senior Design project in open-source software this spring 2024 semester and am on track to graduate with my BS in Computer Engineering in December of 2024.
I plan on furthering my education with Purdue's +1 Masters Program. This program offers me the opportunity to take graduate level classes in my undergraduate term, enabling me to graduate with my MS in Computer Engineering by December of 2025. I will finish my graduate degree online while starting a new role at Crowe!

Personal Projects
Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi Proxy Filter
Through utilization of a Raspberry Pi Zero W, I was able to configure an advanced software solution designed to function as a network-wide ad block. Using the software Pi-hole, I successfully established a Wi-Fi proxy filter that effectively blocks ad requests and queries. This implementation enables seamless ad-blocking across websites, mobile apps, streaming services, and smart TVs without the need for additional local software. By monitoring the traffic routed through the Raspberry Pi, the software is able to stop the requests before they populate to the user, ultimately enhancing network speed and optimizing data consumption. The project includes a user-friendly web interface for convenient interaction and comprehensive network traffic analysis.
