About Me
Hi, I'm Ryan! I'm a Computer Science & Engineering student with a passion for building things that make an impact—whether that's through machine learning models, full stack applications, or community events.
Outside of the classroom, I love competing in and organizing hackathons. I currently help lead outreach efforts for OHI/O, where I get to support and inspire other students to dive into tech through hands-on events. When I'm not coding, you can probably find me playing volleyball with friends or brainstorming the next side project.
I'm especially interested in machine learning and full stack development, and I'm always looking for opportunities to grow as both an engineer and a teammate.

Projects
EyeDentify
Built a real-time web app using a Roboflow-trained computer vision model and React.js to detect signs of eye strain (e.g., redness, puffiness) and notify users to take breaks. Led dataset curation and model training pipeline using Kaggle data, achieving reliable performance and laying the foundation for future integration with blink detection and user analytics.
Market Regime-Based Trading Strategy
Designed and implemented a predictive asset allocation strategy using Python, Random Forests, and logistic regression to classify market regimes and dynamically rebalance equity/bond exposure, achieving a 46.8% return with a Sharpe Ratio of 0.70. Conducted statistical testing, signal engineering (volatility, entropy, bond yield trends), and risk management to outperform buy-and-hold strategies in risk-adjusted terms, reducing drawdown by 50% compared to the S&P 500.

Hobbies & Interests
Paddleboarding
I enjoy paddleboarding with friends during the summer months, just don't ask about the time we lost a paddle
Music
No matter where I am I will probably be listening to music, some of my favorite artists are Porter Robinson New Jeans
Hackathons
If there is a hackathon on campus you will see me there, either participating or organizing
Reading
I've recently been getting back into reading, mostly nonfiction and biographies
Lifting
I try to get in the gym at least once a day even if it is just for a quick workout
Volleyball
Volleyball is me and my friends' go-to weekend activity and we have participated in intramural for 2 years
