About

B.S. in Environmental Science. Currently finishing an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence, with the graduate coursework below and the newer projects on this site pointed at the same thing: evaluation, of models and of the systems built around them. Everything on this site is self-initiated; none of it was built for a client or an employer.

Selected graduate work

Coursework from the M.S. program, indexed here as evidence of formal study — not as a shipped project.

The two modules share more machinery than the syllabus suggests. First-step analysis on an absorbing Markov chain solves (I − Q)x = b for the expected time to absorption. Policy evaluation for a fixed policy solves (I − γP)v = r for the value function. Different courses, same (I − M)⁻¹ inversion underneath.

Build history

This shows when commits landed, not what was built or whether it worked. It is a record of activity — serial focus, campaign-shaped bursts — not a measure of impact, and it is not a list of achievements.
