I have conducted scientific research on accreting black holes and developed reliable computational workflows. I have experience building deep learning models and applying machine learning in various roles. Currently, I enable research in Colgate University’s HPC environment, ensuring efficient and secure computing. I am also exploring automated cluster deployment to further optimize research infrastructure.
