Once approved, it becomes binding official PTA policy, empowering members to lobby legislators, build coalitions, and drive systemic change on behalf of children and families.
Computer Science
CS Projects
Building real things with machine learning, generative AI, and software engineering.
AI Counselor — Spiralogic
Founded and built Spiralogic, a generative AI platform that extends the reach of school counselors by automating routine guidance tasks. Partnered with Orange County Public Schools — the 7th largest U.S. school district. Diamond Challenge Finalist. Built with Python, AWS, and modern GenAI frameworks.
NFL QB Passing Yards — ML Model
Built a machine learning model that predicts NFL quarterbacks' total passing yards with an R² of 0.89 and MAE of 254 yards — far outperforming traditional Passer Rating (R² of just 0.19).
