work experience @
(path)i'm a computer science and biology student building computational drug-design pipelines, molecular-dynamics fixes, and agentic software. i care about systems that stay correct when the science is the constraint.
(now)current work is at URI: PocketBench, a TrkB CNS-delivery screen with a U.S. provisional patent, oxDNA, URI Hydrobotics, and Redhouse. before that, clinical machine learning at Brown.
Redhouse
2026 - Present3rd Place and Best Hack, YCONIC NVIDIA DGX SPARK Hackathon, Supercomputer Track. Built an end-to-end pipeline for generating and launching desktop apps from natural-language prompts, including intent classification, cloud and local model routing, policy checks, auto-repair, and sandboxed execution with rollback.
oxDNA contributor
2026 - PresentMerged contribution to lorenzo-rovigatti/oxDNA, PR #226. Fixed a force-accumulation regression in the CPU FFS backend and added a regression test. Fixed silent particle-index misassignment and an initialization crash across three force classes, validated with 21 regression checks against patched and parent revisions.
URI Hydrobotics Team
2026 - PresentImplemented mixed-thrust control for a six-thruster AUV, combining translation and rotation commands using existing empirically tuned thrust tables. Added an isolated mixer test mode and a Linux/WSL workflow to verify expected thruster outputs before physical-vehicle testing.
Lead Computational Researcher @ University of Rhode Island
2025 - PresentBuilt a computational pipeline combining generative design, docking, deep-learning rescoring, and molecular dynamics to screen 1,100+ TrkB candidates for predicted CNS and nasal-delivery suitability. Prioritized a lead using selectivity predictions, a 500-ns simulation, and in-silico toxicity screens, and filed a U.S. provisional patent.
Undergraduate Researcher @ University of Rhode Island
2025 - PresentBuilt PocketBench to evaluate DiffSBDD and Pocket2Mol across 47 PDB complexes. Measured changes in molecular quality, synthesizability, and weight under pocket-crop perturbations of ±1.5 Å. Preprint: Adversarial Auditing of Generative Structure-Based Drug Design Models.
Software Developer/Founder @ Ram Apps
Feb 2025 - PresentLaunched RamApps, a student-led initiative to centralize and showcase apps built by URI students to solve real campus problems. Created NutriRam, a nutrition-tracking web app built with React, Ant Design, and Flask, which helps students make informed dining decisions. RamApps provides a space for CS students to deploy real-world apps, gaining hands-on experience while benefiting the student body.
Software Developer @ URI S.A.V.E.S
Mar 2025 - Sep 2025Partnering with URI's largest student mutual aid program, built a logistics dashboard to help 50+ student volunteers coordinate weekly deliveries, track outreach impact, and manage inventory. Using React, Node.js, and MongoDB, created an internal tool that improved coordination efficiency by 60% and reduced manual reporting time by 75%.
Technical Developer @HackURI
2025 - PresentPart of the technical development team building the website, platform, and tools for URI's first hackathon
Sponsorship & Partnerships – Hack@URI
2025 - PresentContacted 25+ companies, forming sponsorship pipelines, and helping fund URI's hackathon.
Healthcare Data Science Analyst @ Brown University
Summer 2024Analyzed clinical data from 130,000+ ICU encounters and resolved pipeline anomalies, improving mortality prediction accuracy by 45% relative to baseline, reaching 80%. Developed and evaluated 4 predictive models on biased oxygen saturation readings and missing lab measurements.
Software Engineer Intern @ Providence Public Schools
2023 2024Spearheaded the development of a real-time digital clock and dynamic announcement board for 400 students and faculty, engineering timezone-aware, period-scheduling logic and real-time weather integration using Node.js, Socket.IO, and Next.js.
Software Engineer Team Leader @ MESA National Engineering and Design Competition
Dec 2023 - July 2024Led development of Nerd.U, a free Wi-Fi & digital learning tool for 800 underserved students. Partnered with RIDE and local schools, impacting 120+ students across 3 communities.
Technical Projects
Redhouse
End-to-end agentic pipeline that generates and launches desktop apps from natural-language prompts: intent classification, cloud and local model routing, policy checks, auto-repair, and sandboxed execution with rollback.
oxDNA
Merged fix in the oxDNA molecular dynamics engine. Corrected a force-accumulation regression in the CPU FFS backend, particle-index misassignment, and an initialization crash, covered by regression checks against patched and parent revisions.
PocketBench
Evaluation harness for DiffSBDD and Pocket2Mol across 47 PDB complexes. Measures how pocket-crop perturbations of ±1.5 Å change molecular quality, synthesizability, and weight.
TrkB agonist screen
Generative design, docking, deep-learning rescoring, and molecular dynamics used to screen 1,100+ TrkB candidates for predicted CNS and nasal delivery. Lead prioritized with a 500-ns simulation and in-silico toxicity screens. U.S. provisional patent filed.
URI Hydrobotics mixer
Mixed-thrust control for a six-thruster AUV, combining translation and rotation with empirically tuned thrust tables, plus an isolated mixer test mode and a Linux/WSL check before vehicle tests.
