About

I’m a software engineer and AI/ML researcher who learns by building and breaking real systems. Most recently at Cleveland Clinic’s Discovery Accelerator, I explored multi-agent LLM systems for automating bioinformatics workflows, refactored their tooling through an MCP layer, and spent a lot of time understanding where these agents actually fail. I care about clear technical communication, picking up new topics quickly, and being straightforward about what a system has and hasn’t accomplished.

Recent Experience

Research Intern — Cleveland Clinic

Cleveland, OH • May 2026 - Aug 2026

Selected for the Discovery Accelerator, Cleveland Clinic's biomedical research partnership with IBM.

  • Independently drove a research project on multi-agent LLM systems for automating bioinformatics workflows on the Galaxy platform, running teams of up to four local 70B models across four GPUs
  • Drove, tested, and validated a refactor routing the framework's built-in tools through an MCP layer, bridging asynchronous MCP operations into a synchronous system for more testable, controllable tool exposure
  • Enabled agent teams to source Zenodo data, navigate Galaxy histories, and explore and call from thousands of platform tools with mixed reliability
  • Identified and documented core failure modes including unverified claims between agents, premature task completion, supervisor agents overriding teammates, and context bloat from tool schemas, prioritizing honest evaluation over inflated end-to-end results
  • Researched and delivered a byte-pair encoding tokenization talk to program interns and mentors, hand-working examples and compiling glitch tokens
