Software Engineer Intern
June 2025 - Present

GRIT: Building a rover bearing testbed for the Moon Base program, applying machine learning to characterize regolith-induced wear.
ML Anomaly Response: Built a per-fault Keras micromodel classifier for real-time anomaly detection on ISS telemetry streams, improving accuracy 15% over baseline and supporting new fault modes without full retraining.
Hardened the telemetry data loader against data dropouts, detecting timestamp gaps and segmenting streams so no training sequence spans missing data.
Wrote pytest tests and evaluation metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, F1) for the loader and classifier.
