About Me

Hello, I'm Elijah, an AI/ML Computer Scientist and software engineer who loves turning complex challenges into innovative solutions. With experience in defense technologies, AI/ML systems, and full-stack web development, I’ve had the opportunity to work on both classified and unclassified projects that push the limits of technology.

At ZelTech, I focus on developing advanced AI/ML models and full-stack web applications. Using frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn, I work on a wide range of projects, from computer vision and natural language processing to building scalable, user-friendly web solutions. Before this, I was at Northrop Grumman, where I helped develop safety-critical software and integrate it with hardware for defense applications. I also have experience building scalable systems using Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and Red Hat OpenShift.

I'm currently pursuing a Master’s in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech, where I’m diving into areas like machine learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning. Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from Ohio Wesleyan University.

When I’m not working on technical stuff, I’m spending time on my hobbies: technology 💻, investing 💰, weightlifting 🏋️‍♂️, making music 🎶, and going on adventures! 🌍
