I'm a researcher primarily interested in applying Reinforcement Learning, Control Theory, and Motion Planning to physical systems — particularly high-speed autonomous ones like racing, emergency response, and off-road mobility.

I competed in Track & Field for over a decade, including serving as team captain at USC, where the team won NCAA indoor and outdoor team titles in 2025. The sport shaped how I approach my work: consistency, resilience, and performing under pressure aren't just athletic habits, they're engineering ones too.

Not everything about me fits neatly into a CV.

• Fluent in English and Spanish.
• Avid runner: ran 14+ miles a day through most of college and still get out a few times a week when I can.
• Fragrance enthusiast. Current favorites:
  • Y Elixir — Yves Saint Laurent
  • Zest + Vetiver — Michael Malul
  • Opus XVI Timber — Amouage
