Simplicity in the front. AI in the back. Working with one other developer on creating a lightweight and intuitive digital textbook application that simplifies the complexities of other platforms and LMSs through the use of artificial intelligence.

Invited by Prof. Amy Langville to work alongside IGARDS researchers in mathematics and data science pursuing the question of "rankability" over the summer of 2017 in Charleston. In short, we aimed to identify metrics that could be used to determine the capacity of a graph to support a meaningful ranking with the general theme of answering the question, “What makes data unrankable or rankable? When should you trust a ranking?" Research was presented to Tresata in Charlotte, NC
