New grad, available 2027 (BS CS, UT Dallas, May 2027). US permanent resident, no sponsorship needed. Looking for AI engineer, ML engineer, forward deployed engineer, or new grad SWE roles.

- Texas Instruments, AI Research Engineer (since Sep 2026): low-latency on-chip model that detects human presence from WiFi CSI signals. Before that, one of 20 researchers on a math and physics reasoning model (datasets, fine-tuning, evals).

- MD7, AI Systems Engineer: sole AI engineer, built the company's AI system (RAG, tool-calling agents), live in every employee account.

- Intel, XeSS intern: refactored the C++/PyTorch/OpenVINO deployment pipeline (multithreading, memory management, profiling), cut inference latency 35%.

- Affective LLC, founder: speech emotion recognition from audio, LoRA fine-tuning Qwen2.5-1.5B.

- Comet Aerobotics, software lead: C++/ROS lunabot autonomy on a Jetson, A* pathfinding, LiDAR and camera perception, zero software failures in competition.

Most of my work has been getting a model to run on real hardware or in front of real users, not just in a notebook. I want a team where I own that path from training to deployment.
