I'm a software engineer who builds and evaluates AI and machine-learning systems — and cares about making them reliable, not just demos. By day I'm on Oracle's MySQL & HeatWave team, working on CI/CD automation and the rigor of evaluating things against clear standards. Outside that, I build applied-AI and full-stack projects: retrieval/RAG systems, LLM evaluation tooling, and the engineering that gets them shipped.

• 🔭 Focused on applied AI — RAG, LLM evaluation, and ML systems, backed by solid Python/TypeScript engineering
• 🌱 Always learning — lately around LLM evaluation, retrieval, and agentic workflows
• 💜 Committed to growing the representation of women in STEM
