We Built a Solution to Gen Z's Loneliness Crisis at a Hackathon
Two-thirds of college students feel lonely. At Duke's AI Hackathon, we built Sync AI to change that.
I'm an engineer at Duke pursuing my Master's in Artificial Intelligence. I've spent over a decade building software, and now I'm applying that experience to data and machine learning. I've shipped production systems end to end, from designing architecture and standing up cloud infrastructure to writing application code and handling compliance. I think about systems in terms of what actually needs to get built, then figure out the best way to make it happen. I'm just as comfortable working with data as I am writing the code that puts it into production.
