About

My name is Justin, and I am a software engineer and Computer Science student at UCF. Professionally, I am an AI/ML Solutions Engineer Intern at Command Post Technologies, where I develop and deploy agentic systems for the defense sector.

I specialize in AI-driven systems and full-stack development. I've built scalable agentic software, data-driven predictive models, full-stack applications, and an original 2-D platformer. I am passionate about leveraging state-of-the-art technology to build intelligent solutions that solve real-world problems and drive meaningful change.

In my personal life, I love exploring technologies, working on personal projects, traveling, playing basketball, weightlifting, going to music concerts, and trying new foods!
