Undergraduate student and developer focused on making intelligent programs that understand and communicate with people.
Hello! I'm Mark, a Computer Science student at USF with a focus on artificial intelligence, robotics, and mobile development. I'm driven by the question of how machines can better work alongside people.
As an undergraduate researcher at USF's RARE Lab, I work on projects that bridge human-robot interaction and language models. Outside of research, I build iOS apps and explore data science to round out my full-stack skills.
I'm a member of the Tau Sigma Honor Society and on track to graduate Spring 2027. Currently seeking internships where I can contribute to teams building intelligent, user-facing products.
B.S. Computer Science
RARE Lab
HRI & AI
Python, Swift, C/C++, Java
VSCode, XCode, Postman, Scikit-learn, SwiftUI
A mix of research, apps, and experiments — each one taught me something different.
A SwiftUI + Firebase job application tracker with email parsing using AI. Full-stack iOS app for managing the internship hunt end to end.
View project →Logistic regression model exploring whether audio features can predict hit songs. Key insight: individual features have weak predictive power — feature engineering is essential.
View project →iOS app that lets music lovers search for, track, and rate the albums they've listened to or save albums they want to check out later. What sets Groov apart is its attention to detail, making it a powerful tool for musical reflection and taste-building.
View project →A local-first RAG tool that semantically indexes and searches your documents using LLaMA 3 and vector embeddings.
View project →Research, coursework, and hands-on projects that have shaped my path.
Working on the CRIE project: building LLM inference pipelines for real-time robot intent explanation. Contributing to robotics and AI research in human-robot interaction contexts, including the Blossom social robot platform.
Enrolled in an iOS development course that taught me UIKit, Storyboard, APIs, and how to build an iOS app.
Transferred into the CS program. Inducted into Tau Sigma Honor Society.
I'm currently looking for Summer 2026 internships in AI, mobile development, and intelligent systems. If you're building something cool, I'd love to hear about it.
